Olympus SP-620 UZ vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it's hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through technical specs. The picture here should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SP-620 UZ and WX350.
As you can tell, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony WX350 to result in extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged SP-620 UZ will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
