Nikon S02 vs Olympus 5010 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing only by going over technical specs. The photograph here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S02 and 5010.
As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S02 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh tougher and the Olympus 5010 will offer you greater detail due to its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern S02 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
