Nikon S9100 vs Olympus VH-410 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing only by looking at specifications. The photograph underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S9100 and VH-410.

Plainly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Olympus VH-410 to resolve extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older S9100 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
