On this page, we will be reviewing the Olympus E-330 and Olympus SP-810 UZ, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are produced by Olympus. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the E-330 (7MP) and SP-810 UZ (14MP) and the E-330 (Four Thirds) and SP-810 UZ (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor sizing.

The E-330 was unveiled 6 years earlier than the SP-810 UZ and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-330 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Olympus SP-810 UZ being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the E-330 scores against the SP-810 UZ when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus E-330 and Olympus SP-810 UZ. The full galleries are viewable at Olympus E-330 Gallery and Olympus SP-810 UZ Gallery.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the E-330 and SP-810 UZ is 65 and 78 respectively.

Typically, it is hard to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by going over specs. The photograph underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-330 and SP-810 UZ.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-330 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus SP-810 UZ will offer you extra detail having an extra 7MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older E-330 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
