Olympus SZ-30MR vs Olympus 8010 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SZ-30MR and 8010.
Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Olympus SZ-30MR to offer extra detail due to its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger SZ-30MR will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
