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.
