Olympus 7030 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be hard to see the contrast in sensor sizing simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7030 and 3D1.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Olympus 7030 to show more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older 7030 will be behind in sensor innovation.
