Nikon P340 vs Olympus SP-610UZ Sensor Comparison
Typically, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The pic below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the P340 and SP-610UZ.
Plainly, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The P340 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus SP-610UZ will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The younger P340 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
