Sony S2000 has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Bionz processor. On the other hand, Olympus SP-820UZ has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the S2000 and SP-820UZ sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony S2000 and Olympus SP-820UZ Cameras
Sony S2000 and Olympus SP-820UZ 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. On the other hand, since Sony S2000 has 53% larger pixel area compared to Olympus SP-820UZ, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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
Sony S2000
or the
Olympus SP-820UZ ,
including hyperfocal distance.
