Quite often, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The photograph underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the PEN-F and VG-110.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The PEN-F with its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus PEN-F will give you greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The younger PEN-F will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
