Olympus 6000 vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The picture underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 6000 and S1.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 6000 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Panasonic S1 will offer you extra detail having its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 6000 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
