Olympus 1s vs Sony T110

In this write-up, we are evaluating the Olympus 1s and Sony T110, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Ultracompact by manufacturers Olympus and Sony. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the 1s (12MP) and T110 (16MP) and the 1s (1/1.7") and T110 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor sizing.

The 1s was manufactured 4 years after the T110 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony T110 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before going in to a full comparison, below is a short summation of how the 1s grades versus the T110 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Stylus 1s and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T110. The entire galleries are viewable at Olympus 1s Gallery and Sony T110 Gallery.

For those who are going to carry around your camera, you will need to consider its weight and proportions. The Olympus 1s features physical dimensions of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") with a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs) whilst the Sony T110 has measurements of 93mm x 56mm x 17mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.7") with a weight of 121 grams (0.27 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have attached at that moment. Following is the front view physical size comparison of the 1s compared to the T110.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 1s and T110 is 79 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1s and T110.

Clearly, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 1s due to its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Sony T110 will give more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent 1s will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
