FujiFilm S1600 vs Olympus 1s Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1600 and 1s.

Clearly, both of these cameras provide the same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizes. The S1600 offers the tinier sensor which will make getting shallow depth of field tougher. The more aged S1600 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
