The L830 was manufactured 2 years later than the SZ-10 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Nikon L830 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Olympus SZ-10 being a Compact camera.

Before delving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a concise view of how the L830 scores vs the SZ-10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix L830 and Olympus SZ-10. The entire galleries are available at Nikon L830 Gallery and Olympus SZ-10 Gallery.

Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizing merely by going over specifications. The graphic here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the L830 and SZ-10.

Plainly, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should count on the Nikon L830 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer L830 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
