Olympus VH-410 vs Panasonic ZS200 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specs. The pic below might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the VH-410 and ZS200.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The VH-410 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic ZS200 will result in greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged VH-410 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
