The L830 was announced 15 months before the 1s making them a generation away from one another. Both of these cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going right into a complete comparison, here is a concise summation of how the L830 matches up versus the 1s with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix L830 & Olympus Stylus 1s. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon L830 Gallery & Olympus 1s Gallery.

In case you're intending to travel with your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor in its weight and measurements.

More often than not, its hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specs. The pic here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the L830 and 1s.

All in all, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The L830 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Nikon L830 will provide extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged L830 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
