Olympus SH-50 vs Olympus SP-610UZ Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SH-50 and SP-610UZ.
Clearly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Olympus SH-50 to offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger SH-50 will have an edge in sensor technology.
