Olympus FE-47 vs Panasonic FH27 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specs. The pic underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-47 and FH27.
All in all, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You can anticipate the Panasonic FH27 to give you extra detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
