Olympus E-M10 vs Panasonic S1H

Its time to look a bit more in depth at the Olympus E-M10 vs Panasonic S1H, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by manufacturers Olympus and Panasonic. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the E-M10 (16MP) and S1H (24MP) and the E-M10 (Four Thirds) and S1H (Full frame) provide different sensor sizes.

The E-M10 was announced 6 years before the S1H which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a complete comparison, here is a simple summary of how the E-M10 scores versus the S1H in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus OM-D E-M10 and Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus E-M10 Gallery and Panasonic S1H Gallery.

When you are looking to travel with your camera often, you are going to need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Usually, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by researching technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 and S1H.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic S1H will result in greater detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-M10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
