Kodak S-1 vs Olympus PEN-F Sensor Comparison

In many cases, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over specifications. The pic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S-1 and PEN-F.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Olympus PEN-F to offer extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged S-1 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
