Nikon S800c vs Olympus FE-5010 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by researching specifications. The pic below should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S800c and FE-5010.
Plainly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Nikon S800c to provide you with more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern S800c will have an advantage in sensor tech.
