Nikon P100 vs Olympus SP-810 UZ Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The picture below may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the P100 and SP-810 UZ.

Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Olympus SP-810 UZ to offer you more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged P100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
