Nikon S6300 vs Olympus FE-5020 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it can be difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizes simply by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S6300 and FE-5020.
Clearly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You can anticipate the Nikon S6300 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The newer S6300 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
