Below you can see the FE-5010 and SD3500 IS sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Olympus FE-5010 and Canon SD3500 IS Cameras
Olympus FE-5010 and Canon SD3500 IS 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
Olympus FE-5010
or the
Canon SD3500 IS ,
including hyperfocal distance.
