Olympus SP-600 UZ vs Olympus 7030 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it's hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SP-600 UZ and 7030.
As you can see, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Olympus 7030 to offer more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively.
