All in all, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 1 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus 7030 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent 1 should have an edge in sensor tech.
