Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung PL210 and Olympus SP-565UZ Cameras
Samsung PL210 and Olympus SP-565UZ 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
Samsung PL210
or the
Olympus SP-565UZ ,
including hyperfocal distance.
