Fujifilm T550 vs Olympus 1

Below, we are looking at the Fujifilm T550 versus Olympus 1, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors FujiFilm and Olympus. There exists a crucial gap between the resolutions of the Fujifilm T550 (16MP) and 1 (12MP) and the Fujifilm T550 (1/2.3") and 1 (1/1.7") come with totally different sensor sizing.

The Fujifilm T550 was revealed 10 months before the 1 which means that they are of a similar generation. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Fujifilm T550 being a Compact camera and the Olympus 1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the Fujifilm T550 grades versus the 1 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix T550 and Olympus Stylus 1. The full galleries are viewable at Fujifilm T550 Gallery and Olympus 1 Gallery.

If you are aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you will want to factor its weight and dimensions.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are employing at that time. Here is the front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm T550 and the 1.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm T550 and 1 is 95 and 79 respectively.

Quite often, it's tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The image below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm T550 and 1.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm T550 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm T550 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm T550 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
