Olympus 1s vs Panasonic G5 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing only by reviewing technical specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1s and G5.
As you can tell, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1s with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic G5 will deliver more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern 1s provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
