Olympus VH-410 vs Samsung PL200 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by looking through specs. The photograph here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the VH-410 and PL200.

All in all, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Olympus VH-410 to provide you with more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent VH-410 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
