Olympus 8010 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 8010 and 3D1.

As you can see, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Olympus 8010 to offer greater detail utilizing its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older 8010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
