Olympus FE-3010 vs Olympus 7030 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's hard to see the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-3010 and 7030.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus 7030 to offer you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older FE-3010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
