Olympus 7010 vs Panasonic G1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 7010 and G1.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same MP but not the same sensor measurements. The 7010 contains the tinier sensor which will make getting shallower DOF more challenging. The more recent 7010 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
