Kodak S-1 vs Olympus E-P7 Sensor Comparison

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.
