Sometimes, it can be tough to envision the gap between sensor measurements simply by going over technical specs. The graphic underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the L100 and VH-410.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Olympus VH-410 to offer extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older L100 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
