The 1 was unveiled 3 years later than the FZ35 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting in to a in-depth comparison, below is a short summation of how the 1 matches up versus the FZ35 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Stylus 1 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35. The full galleries are provided at Olympus 1 Gallery and Panasonic FZ35 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera regularly, you will want to factor in its weight and size.

Usually, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 1 and FZ35.

As you can see, the two cameras posses the exact same resolution but different sensor measurements. The 1 provides the larger sensor which should make obtaining bokeh less difficult. The more modern 1 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
