Olympus 5010 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing only by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 5010 and 3D1.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Olympus 5010 to deliver extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older 5010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
