Often, it's hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading specs. The image here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SP-810 UZ and LF1.

All in all, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SP-810 UZ having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Olympus SP-810 UZ will offer you greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged SP-810 UZ is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
