Olympus FE-4000 vs Panasonic ZS100 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by checking a spec sheet. The image below should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-4000 and ZS100.
Clearly, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FE-4000 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic ZS100 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged FE-4000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
