Olympus E-M5 III vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over technical specs. The graphic here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M5 III and FH10.
As you have seen, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-M5 III featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-M5 III will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The younger E-M5 III will have an advantage in sensor technology.
