Olympus E-620 vs Olympus 1s

Its time to look more closely at the Olympus E-620 vs Olympus 1s, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are created by Olympus. The image resolution of the E-620 (12MP) and the 1s (12MP) is fairly similar but the E-620 (Four Thirds) and 1s (1/1.7") posses different sensor measurements.

The E-620 was revealed 6 years prior to the 1s and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-620 being a Compact SLR camera and the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief overview of how the E-620 grades against the 1s when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus E-620 and Olympus Stylus 1s. The full galleries are available at Olympus E-620 Gallery and Olympus 1s Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera, you should consider its weight and measurements. The Olympus E-620 enjoys outside measurements of 130mm x 94mm x 60mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 2.4") along with a weight of 500 grams (1.10 lbs) whilst the Olympus 1s has proportions of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") with a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are employing at that moment. The following is a front view scale comparison of the E-620 against the 1s.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the E-620 and 1s is 71 and 79 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading technical specs. The visual here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-620 and 1s.

As you can tell, both of these cameras feature the identical megapixel count but different sensor measurements. The E-620 has got the larger sensor which is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult. The older E-620 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
