Olympus FE-47 vs Pentax K-50 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The pic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-47 and K-50.
Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FE-47 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Pentax K-50 will offer greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
