FujiFilm S4000 vs Olympus 1

Below, we will be comparing the FujiFilm S4000 vs Olympus 1, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the S4000 (14MP) and the 1 (12MP) is relatively well matched but the S4000 (1/2.3") and 1 (1/1.7") possess different sensor sizes.

The S4000 was introduced 3 years earlier than the 1 and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting through a in-depth comparison, below is a simple overview of how the S4000 scores versus the 1 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for FujiFilm FinePix S4000 and Olympus Stylus 1. The whole galleries are provided at FujiFilm S4000 Gallery and Olympus 1 Gallery.

If you're intending to carry your camera, you have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The FujiFilm S4000 has outer dimensions of 118mm x 81mm x 100mm (4.6" x 3.2" x 3.9") having a weight of 540 grams (1.19 lbs) while the Olympus 1 has dimensions of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") and a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you choose at that moment. The following is the front view measurement comparison of the S4000 and the 1.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the S4000 and 1 is 67 and 79 respectively.

In many cases, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking specs. The photograph below might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S4000 and 1.

All in all, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S4000 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the FujiFilm S4000 will give more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older S4000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
