Nikon L110 vs Olympus E-M1X Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The image here should offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the L110 and E-M1X.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The L110 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Olympus E-M1X will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged L110 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
