Olympus 1 vs Sony S2000

Below is a comprehensive overview of the Olympus 1 and Sony S2000, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Olympus and Sony. The sensor resolution of the 1 (12MP) and the S2000 (10MP) is pretty comparable but the 1 (1/1.7") and S2000 (1/2.3") provide different sensor sizes.

The 1 was introduced 3 years later than the S2000 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus 1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony S2000 being a Compact camera.

Before getting into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the 1 matches up against the S2000 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you have at that time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the 1 against the S2000.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 1 and S2000 is 79 and 93 respectively.

Quite often, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements just by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1 and S2000.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus 1 will produce more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher 1 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
