Olympus E-620 vs Olympus 1

In this write-up, we will be matching up the Olympus E-620 vs Olympus 1, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both offered by Olympus. The resolution of the E-620 (12MP) and the 1 (12MP) is pretty well matched but the E-620 (Four Thirds) and 1 (1/1.7") possess totally different sensor sizes.

The E-620 was released 5 years before the 1 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-620 being a Compact SLR camera and the Olympus 1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting through a in depth comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the E-620 grades versus the 1 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Usually, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The image here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-620 and 1.

Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The E-620 contains the bigger sensor which will make getting shallow depth of field easier. The more aged E-620 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
