Nikon L100 vs Olympus FE-47 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by researching specifications. The photograph here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the L100 and FE-47.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Olympus FE-47 to provide you with greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older L100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
