Canon M10 vs Fujifilm X-A5

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon M10 vs Fujifilm X-A5, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the M10 (18MP) and Fujifilm X-A5 (24MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The M10 was announced 3 years earlier than the Fujifilm X-A5 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a brief summary of how the M10 matches up versus the Fujifilm X-A5 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M10 and Fujifilm X-A5. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon M10 Gallery and Fujifilm X-A5 Gallery.

If you're looking to travel with your camera, you will need to think about its weight and measurements.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Here is a front view physical size comparison of the M10 and the Fujifilm X-A5.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M10 and Fujifilm X-A5 is 88 and 86 respectively.

More often than not, it is difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through a spec sheet. The image underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M10 and Fujifilm X-A5.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should anticipate the Fujifilm X-A5 to give greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged M10 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
