Olympus 7030 vs Panasonic 3D1

Lets look closer at the Olympus 7030 versus Panasonic 3D1, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by brands Olympus and Panasonic. The image resolution of the 7030 (14MP) and the 3D1 (12MP) is pretty comparable and they enjoy the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The 7030 was introduced 22 months earlier than the 3D1 which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick summation of how the 7030 grades versus the 3D1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

If you are intending to carry your camera often, you'll need to think about its weight and size. The Olympus 7030 features outer dimensions of 93mm x 56mm x 26mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 1.0") along with a weight of 140 grams (0.31 lbs) whilst the Panasonic 3D1 has specifications of 108mm x 58mm x 24mm (4.3" x 2.3" x 0.9") along with a weight of 193 grams (0.43 lbs).

Usually, it can be hard to see the contrast in sensor sizing simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7030 and 3D1.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Olympus 7030 to show more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older 7030 will be behind in sensor innovation.
