Olympus E-3 vs Sony T110

Let's look more closely at the Olympus E-3 versus Sony T110, former being a Advanced DSLR while the latter is a Ultracompact by competitors Olympus and Sony. There is a substantial difference between the image resolutions of the E-3 (10MP) and T110 (16MP) and the E-3 (Four Thirds) and T110 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor size.

The E-3 was released 3 years prior to the T110 and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-3 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sony T110 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the E-3 matches up vs the T110 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In many cases, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-3 and T110.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-3 featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony T110 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older E-3 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
