Nikon B700 vs Olympus 1s Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specifications. The picture here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the B700 and 1s.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The B700 with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon B700 will resolve extra detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The fresher B700 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
