Olympus E-330 vs Olympus SP-810 UZ

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.

When you are planning to lug around your camera, you need to consider its weight and proportions.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Following is a front view measurement comparison of the E-330 versus the SP-810 UZ.

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.
