Olympus SP-810 UZ vs Olympus 1s Sensor Comparison

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.
