Olympus SP-800 UZ vs Olympus 1 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by checking specs. The graphic underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SP-800 UZ and 1.
All in all, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SP-800 UZ having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Olympus SP-800 UZ will resolve extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older SP-800 UZ is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
