Both Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and Olympus E-410 have 10.0 MP resolution sensors but Fujifilm Real 3D W3's sensor is 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) and Olympus E-410's sensor is Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ).
Since Olympus E-410's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Fujifilm Real 3D W3.
Below you can see the Real 3D W3 and E-410 sensor size comparison.

As seen above, Olympus E-410 has a 8.0x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm Real 3D W3. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Fujifilm Real 3D W3
or the
Olympus E-410 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(1/2.3-inch versus Four Thirds),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
