Nikon P7100 vs Olympus FE-5010 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by going through a spec sheet. The pic below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the P7100 and FE-5010.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P7100 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Olympus FE-5010 will produce greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent P7100 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
