Nikon P80 vs Olympus 1s

Lets look a bit more closely at the Nikon P80 and Olympus 1s, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by companies Nikon and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the P80 (10MP) and the 1s (12MP) is pretty well matched but the P80 (1/2.3") and 1s (1/1.7") feature different sensor size.

The P80 was introduced 7 years before the 1s which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before we go straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a quick summary of how the P80 matches up against the 1s in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix P80 & Olympus Stylus 1s. The whole galleries are available at Nikon P80 Gallery & Olympus 1s Gallery.

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

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that time. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the P80 versus the 1s.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the P80 and 1s is 75 and 79 respectively.

Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by checking specifications. The picture underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the P80 and 1s.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P80 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Olympus 1s will give you extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged P80 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
