To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-410 with its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Olympus VG-110 will provide greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The older E-410 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
