Olympus E-410 vs Olympus 8000

Here, we will be evaluating the Olympus E-410 versus Olympus 8000, former being a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and they are both designed by Olympus. The sensor resolution of the E-410 (10MP) and the 8000 (12MP) is relatively comparable but the E-410 (Four Thirds) and 8000 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor dimensions.

More often than not, its difficult to see the difference in sensor sizing purely by going through a spec sheet. The visual below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-410 and 8000.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-410 using its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus 8000 will show greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older E-410 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
