Olympus FE-4000 vs Pentax W60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading a spec sheet. The picture below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-4000 and W60.
Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Olympus FE-4000 to offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively.
