The Z5 was announced 5 years after the 1s which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Nikon Z5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the Z5 matches up vs the 1s for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Z5 & Olympus Stylus 1s. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon Z5 Gallery & Olympus 1s Gallery.

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

More often than not, it's hard to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reading through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z5 and 1s.

As you can see, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z5 having a larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Nikon Z5 will give more detail with its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer Z5 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
