Olympus E-410 vs Sony T900 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The E-410 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony T900 will produce more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged E-410 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
