Olympus FE-3010 vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at technical specs. The visual here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-3010 and ZV-1.
As you can tell, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The FE-3010 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Sony ZV-1 will give more detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older FE-3010 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
