Olympus 1 vs Sony T99

Following is a in depth overview of the Olympus 1 versus Sony T99, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Ultracompact by companies Olympus and Sony. The resolution of the 1 (12MP) and the T99 (14MP) is pretty similar but the 1 (1/1.7") and T99 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor measurements.

The 1 was brought out 3 years after the T99 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Olympus 1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony T99 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief summation of how the 1 grades vs the T99 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

When you are looking to carry around your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and measurements. The Olympus 1 offers exterior dimensions of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") along with a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs) and the Sony T99 has proportions of 93mm x 56mm x 17mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.7") accompanied by a weight of 121 grams (0.27 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are working with during that time. Here is a front view size comparison of the 1 versus the T99.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 1 and T99 is 79 and 96 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading technical specs. The pic underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1 and T99.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 1 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony T99 will offer you greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more modern 1 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
