Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Olympus 8010 and Samsung HZ35W Cameras
Olympus 8010 and Samsung HZ35W 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 8010
or the
Samsung HZ35W ,
including hyperfocal distance.
