Olympus FE-3010 vs Sony A380 Sensor Comparison
Often, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-3010 and A380.
Clearly, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FE-3010 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony A380 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots more aggressively. The older FE-3010 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
