Olympus E-5 vs Olympus VH-410 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The picture underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-5 and VH-410.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-5 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus VH-410 will show greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged E-5 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
