Olympus 1 vs Olympus SP-100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The picture underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 1 and SP-100.
As you can see, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus SP-100 will deliver greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively.
