Electronic (OLED) Viewfinder on Canon EOS R10

Canon EOS R10 has a built-in Electronic (OLED) viewfinder with 2,360k dot resolution. It has a 100% coverage and 0.95x (0.60x 35mm equivalent) magnification. There is no built-in or optional viewfinder available on Olympus Stylus SH-1.

Canon EOS R10 features a 24.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor with dimensions of 22.3 x 14.9 mm and a total area of 332.3 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 32,000 and expands to 100 - 51,200 in boosted mode. Olympus Stylus SH-1 features a 16 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 6,400 and expands to 100 - 12,800 in boosted mode.

Olympus Stylus SH-1 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Canon EOS R10 is equipped with DIGIC X processor and can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution. Olympus Stylus SH-1 is equipped with TruePic VII processor and can take pictures up to 4608 x 3456 resolution.

Olympus Stylus SH-1 has an image stabilization.
