Olympus FE-3010 vs Panasonic FH22 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by checking specifications. The image here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-3010 and FH22.

Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic FH22 to resolve greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged FE-3010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
