Olympus E-400 vs Olympus E-620 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading technical specs. The graphic here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the E-400 and E-620.
As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Olympus E-620 to offer you more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older E-400 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
