Olympus E-400 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor sizing just by going over technical specs. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-400 and H200.
As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The E-400 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony H200 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older E-400 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
