Olympus E-620 vs Panasonic FX75 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions just by looking at technical specs. The picture here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-620 and FX75.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-620 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic FX75 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged E-620 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
