Olympus E-M1X vs Panasonic S1R Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes just by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M1X and S1R.
As you can see, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-M1X due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Panasonic S1R will resolve extra detail having its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively.
