Olympus E-330 vs Panasonic G10 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it's hard to see the difference between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The image below will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the E-330 and G10.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Panasonic G10 to give extra detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged E-330 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
