Olympus VG-110 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by seeing specifications. The picture underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the VG-110 and H200.

Plainly, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony H200 to show extra detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged VG-110 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
