Olympus FE-3010 vs Panasonic G100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-3010 and G100.
As you can see, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FE-3010 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Panasonic G100 will result in extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The older FE-3010 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
