Olympus SP-600 UZ vs Panasonic ZS200 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it's tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes only by reading specs. The image here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-600 UZ and ZS200.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SP-600 UZ because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic ZS200 will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SP-600 UZ is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
