To sum up, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SP-810 UZ having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Olympus SP-810 UZ will offer greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer SP-810 UZ is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
