Nikon S33 vs Olympus 7040 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing technical specs. The picture here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S33 and 7040.

As you can tell, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S33 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Olympus 7040 will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher S33 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
