Olympus 5010 vs Sony NEX-5T Sensor Comparison
Usually, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes simply by checking out technical specs. The picture here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 5010 and NEX-5T.
As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 5010 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony NEX-5T will show extra detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged 5010 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
