Olympus E-410 vs Olympus SZ-10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The visual here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-410 and SZ-10.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-410 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus SZ-10 will resolve extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older E-410 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
