Olympus XZ-10 vs Sony H400 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the XZ-10 and H400.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony H400 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged XZ-10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
