Nikon P80 vs Olympus 1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the P80 and 1.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The P80 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting bokeh tougher and the Olympus 1 will result in greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images more aggressively. The older P80 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
