Olympus SP-810 UZ vs Panasonic S1R Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading specifications. The photograph below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SP-810 UZ and S1R.
Plainly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SP-810 UZ with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic S1R will deliver more detail because of its extra 33 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older SP-810 UZ is going to be behind in sensor tech.
