Nikon P7000 vs Olympus SP-820UZ Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Normally, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by going through specs. The picture here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the P7000 and SP-820UZ.
All in all, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The P7000 with its larger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Olympus SP-820UZ will provide extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged P7000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
