Olympus FE-47 vs Panasonic TS20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by going over specs. The picture below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-47 and TS20.
All in all, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic TS20 to deliver more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
