Both Olympus E-410 and Olympus E-520 have Four Thirds sized 10.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the E-410 and E-520 sensor size comparison.
Olympus E-410 and Olympus E-520 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Olympus E-410 and Olympus E-520 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that E-520 has a better overall score of 55, 4 points higher compared to E-410's score of 51.
