Olympus FE-3010 vs Olympus E-M10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reading through specifications. The image here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-3010 and E-M10.
To sum up, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FE-3010 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Olympus E-M10 will give you greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-3010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
