OM System OM-1 vs Panasonic S1H Overview

Below is a in depth assessment of the OM System OM-1 versus Panasonic S1H, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Olympus and Panasonic. The image resolution of the OM System OM-1 (20MP) and the S1H (24MP) is pretty similar but the OM System OM-1 (Four Thirds) and S1H (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The OM System OM-1 was announced 2 years later than the S1H and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the OM System OM-1 matches up versus the S1H in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

OM System OM-1 vs Panasonic S1H Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's hard to see the difference between sensor measurements just by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the OM System OM-1 and S1H.
Clearly, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The OM System OM-1 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic S1H will offer more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The newer OM System OM-1 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
