Olympus FE-5010 vs Sony A77 II Sensor Comparison
Generally, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements only by viewing specifications. The visual here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-5010 and A77 II.
Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FE-5010 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A77 II will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older FE-5010 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
