Olympus SZ-10 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, its tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at technical specs. The photograph below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SZ-10 and WX350.
As you have seen, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Sony WX350 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics more aggressively. The older SZ-10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
