Olympus VG-110 vs Panasonic L10 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The visual underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the VG-110 and L10.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The VG-110 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Olympus VG-110 will show more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer VG-110 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
