Olympus 7000 vs Panasonic S1H Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's difficult to see the difference between sensor dimensions just by checking specs. The pic here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 7000 and S1H.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 7000 having a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Panasonic S1H will resolve extra detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged 7000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
