Olympus SH-1 vs Samsung HZ35W Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through specifications. The pic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SH-1 and HZ35W.
Plainly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Olympus SH-1 to show extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger SH-1 will have an edge in sensor technology.
