Olympus SP-610UZ vs Sony A7R IV

The following is a complete review of the Olympus SP-610UZ and Sony A7R IV, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Olympus and Sony. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the SP-610UZ (14MP) and A7R IV (61MP) and the SP-610UZ (1/2.3") and A7R IV (Full frame) provide different sensor dimensions.

Typically, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions just by going through specifications. The picture underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SP-610UZ and A7R IV.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SP-610UZ using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A7R IV will show greater detail because of its extra 47MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SP-610UZ will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
