Canon SX50 HS vs Olympus 1s

Its time to take a more detailed look at the Canon SX50 HS vs Olympus 1s, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors Canon and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the SX50 HS (12MP) and the 1s (12MP) is relatively well matched but the SX50 HS (1/2.3") and 1s (1/1.7") posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The SX50 HS was introduced 3 years earlier than the 1s which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before we go into a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple summary of how the SX50 HS grades versus the 1s in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX50 HS and Olympus Stylus 1s. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX50 HS Gallery and Olympus 1s Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry around your camera often, you have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon SX50 HS enjoys physical dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 106mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 4.2") having a weight of 595 grams (1.31 lbs) whilst the Olympus 1s has dimensions of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") accompanied by a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising during that time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the SX50 HS and the 1s.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the SX50 HS and 1s is 65 and 79 respectively.

Often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes simply by checking technical specs. The pic here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX50 HS and 1s.

As you have seen, both of these cameras provide the same resolution albeit not the same sensor sizes. The SX50 HS includes the tinier sensor which will make obtaining shallower DOF more difficult. The more aged SX50 HS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
