Olympus FE-5010 vs Olympus 6020 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The visual underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-5010 and 6020.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should count on the Olympus 6020 to give you more detail due to its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older FE-5010 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
