Nikon L24 vs Olympus VH-515 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through specifications. The pic underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the L24 and VH-515.
To sum up, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You can anticipate the Nikon L24 to show extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged L24 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
