Olympus SP-610UZ vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it is very tough to envision the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-610UZ and WX350.
Clearly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony WX350 to give greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged SP-610UZ is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
