Olympus E-410 vs Panasonic FP1 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the E-410 and FP1.

Clearly, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-410 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic FP1 will resolve more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The older E-410 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
