Olympus FE-3010 vs Panasonic FP7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its tough to see the difference in sensor dimensions just by viewing technical specs. The pic here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-3010 and FP7.
As you can tell, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Panasonic FP7 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged FE-3010 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
