The 7000 was released 5 years before the W710 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a short highlight of how the 7000 matches up against the W710 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Stylus 7000 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W710. The complete galleries are viewable at Olympus 7000 Gallery and Sony W710 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to lug around your camera, you will need to think about its weight and proportions.

Quite often, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through specs. The visual underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 7000 and W710.

All in all, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony W710 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 7000 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
