Nikon S630 vs Olympus FE-47 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements only by checking specifications. The visual here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the S630 and FE-47.

Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Olympus FE-47 to give more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The older S630 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
