Olympus FE-3010 vs Olympus 5010 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, its tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading specs. The photograph below might give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-3010 and 5010.
As you can plainly see, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Olympus 5010 to offer extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older FE-3010 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
