Olympus SZ-11 vs Olympus 1 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching specs. The image here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SZ-11 and 1.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SZ-11 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Olympus SZ-11 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SZ-11 will be behind in sensor innovation.
