Olympus 1 vs Sony T110

Lets look a little more in depth at the Olympus 1 versus Sony T110, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Ultracompact by manufacturers Olympus and Sony. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the 1 (12MP) and T110 (16MP) and the 1 (1/1.7") and T110 (1/2.3") boast different sensor size.

The 1 was unveiled 2 years later than the T110 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Olympus 1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony T110 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before diving right into a complete comparison, here is a simple summation of how the 1 grades versus the T110 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In case you're going to lug around your camera often, you will need to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Olympus 1 has got physical measurements of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") accompanied by a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs) while the Sony T110 has dimensions of 93mm x 56mm x 17mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.7") and a weight of 121 grams (0.27 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have chosen at the time. Following is a front view dimension comparison of the 1 and the T110.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1 and T110 is 79 and 96 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The visual here might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1 and T110.

As you have seen, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Sony T110 will render extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern 1 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
