Olympus FE-3010 vs Olympus E-M10 II Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements just by going through specs. The graphic underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-3010 and E-M10 II.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FE-3010 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Olympus E-M10 II will provide extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older FE-3010 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
