Kodak S-1 vs Olympus E-P7

Below is a in depth review of the Kodak S-1 and Olympus E-P7, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Kodak and Olympus. The resolution of the S-1 (16MP) and the E-P7 (20MP) is very well matched and both cameras have the identical sensor measurements (Four Thirds).

Photography Glossary

The S-1 was released 8 years prior to the E-P7 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a full comparison, here is a brief overview of how the S-1 grades versus the E-P7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Olympus PEN E-P7. The complete galleries are viewable at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Olympus E-P7 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera often, you need to factor in its weight and size. The Kodak S-1 features external dimensions of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") and a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) while the Olympus E-P7 has specifications of 118mm x 69mm x 38mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.5") and a weight of 337 grams (0.74 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you select at the time. Here is a front view measurements comparison of the S-1 vs the E-P7.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S-1 and E-P7 is 88 and 86 respectively.

Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The photograph underneath may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S-1 and E-P7.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Olympus E-P7 to give more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older S-1 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
