Olympus E-M10 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing just by checking a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 and H200.

Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony H200 will give more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger E-M10 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
