The 1s was unveiled 16 months later than the WB1100F which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting in to a complete comparison, below is a concise summary of how the 1s matches up against the WB1100F with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus Stylus 1s and Samsung WB1100F. The full galleries are available at Olympus 1s Gallery and Samsung WB1100F Gallery.

If you're looking to carry your camera, you will need to think about its weight and dimensions.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1s using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB1100F will give more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent 1s provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
