Olympus FE-47 vs Sony NEX-5T Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes merely by going through specs. The pic here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-47 and NEX-5T.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FE-47 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Sony NEX-5T will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
