As you can see, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus SZ-15 to give you extra detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively. The younger SZ-15 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
