Nikon S100 vs Olympus 7010 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through specifications. The picture here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S100 and 7010.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon S100 to show more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The more recent S100 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
