OM System OM-1 vs Panasonic G85 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Often, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The pic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the OM System OM-1 and G85.
Clearly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the OM System OM-1 to give you more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger OM System OM-1 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
