Olympus SP-810 UZ vs Olympus 1s

Below is a comprehensive comparison of the Olympus SP-810 UZ versus Olympus 1s, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras and both are sold by Olympus. The image resolution of the SP-810 UZ (14MP) and the 1s (12MP) is very close but the SP-810 UZ (1/2.3") and 1s (1/1.7") have different sensor measurements.

The SP-810 UZ was released 4 years prior to the 1s and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going right into a complete comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the SP-810 UZ matches up against the 1s with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus SP-810 UZ & Olympus Stylus 1s. The complete galleries are available at Olympus SP-810 UZ Gallery & Olympus 1s Gallery.

When you are aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you choose during that time. Underneath is a front view sizing comparison of the SP-810 UZ and the 1s.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SP-810 UZ and 1s is 78 and 79 respectively.

Typically, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SP-810 UZ and 1s.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SP-810 UZ featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Olympus SP-810 UZ will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The older SP-810 UZ will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
