Olympus FE-47 vs Panasonic SZ7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specifications. The pic here may offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-47 and SZ7.
Plainly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the same resolution and you can expect comparable quality of files but you should always consider the age  of the cameras into account. The more aged FE-47 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
