Olympus 8010 vs Sony RX100 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The image here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 8010 and RX100 II.
As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 8010 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Sony RX100 II will give you more detail due to its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged 8010 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
