14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features TruePic III processor.
Below you can see the L830 and 5010 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon L830 and Olympus 5010 Cameras
Nikon L830 and Olympus 5010 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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
Nikon L830
or the
Olympus 5010 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
