OM System OM-1 vs Panasonic S1R Sensor Comparison
In many cases, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing purely by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the OM System OM-1 and S1R.
As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The OM System OM-1 with its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Panasonic S1R will render more detail having an extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The newer OM System OM-1 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
