Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by going over specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7030 and FZ150.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Olympus 7030 to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 7030 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
