Olympus FE-5020 vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The photograph underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-5020 and FH10.
To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic FH10 to provide extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older FE-5020 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
