Olympus 1s vs Panasonic FH10

Let's take a deeper look at the Olympus 1s vs Panasonic FH10, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Olympus and Panasonic. There exists a large gap among the image resolutions of the 1s (12MP) and FH10 (16MP) and the 1s (1/1.7") and FH10 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor measurements.

The 1s was brought out 2 years later than the FH10 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Panasonic FH10 being a Compact camera.

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise summation of how the 1s scores against the FH10 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Stylus 1s & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH10. The entire galleries are available at Olympus 1s Gallery & Panasonic FH10 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Olympus 1s provides physical measurements of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") having a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs) while the Panasonic FH10 has proportions of 94mm x 54mm x 18mm (3.7" x 2.1" x 0.7") having a weight of 103 grams (0.23 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are using at that moment. Here is the front view proportions comparison of the 1s compared to the FH10.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 1s and FH10 is 79 and 97 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by researching a spec sheet. The visual here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1s and FH10.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1s featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic FH10 will result in more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The newer 1s should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
