The VG-110 was introduced 2 years after the G1 which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Olympus VG-110 being a Ultracompact camera and the Panasonic G1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a thorough comparison, here is a concise overview of how the VG-110 grades against the G1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus VG-110 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1. The whole galleries are available at Olympus VG-110 Gallery & Panasonic G1 Gallery.
