Olympus FE-4030 vs Olympus XZ-1 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading through specs. The image below should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-4030 and XZ-1.
All in all, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FE-4030 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Olympus FE-4030 will resolve greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-4030 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
