Olympus 8000 vs Panasonic S1H Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing just by going over specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 8000 and S1H.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 8000 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic S1H will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The older 8000 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
