Nikon L810 vs Olympus E-600 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The L810 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh tougher and the Nikon L810 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The younger L810 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
