Olympus 1s vs Samsung HZ35W

Lets look much closer at the Olympus 1s vs Samsung HZ35W, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors Olympus and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the 1s (12MP) and the HZ35W (12MP) is relatively similar but the 1s (1/1.7") and HZ35W (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The 1s was brought out 4 years later than the HZ35W and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung HZ35W being a Compact camera.

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the 1s matches up versus the HZ35W in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Stylus 1s & Samsung HZ35W. The entire galleries are viewable at Olympus 1s Gallery & Samsung HZ35W Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry your camera regularly, you will have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen at the time. Underneath is the front view over all size comparison of the 1s compared to the HZ35W.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 1s and HZ35W is 79 and 91 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading technical specs. The graphic below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1s and HZ35W.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizing. The 1s uses the bigger sensor which will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler. The younger 1s is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
