Olympus FE-47 vs Sony RX1R Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is tough to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-47 and RX1R.
Clearly, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FE-47 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Sony RX1R will render greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
