Canon M50 vs Olympus E-P2

Lets examine more closely at the Canon M50 vs Olympus E-P2, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Olympus. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the M50 (24MP) and E-P2 (12MP) and the M50 (APS-C) and E-P2 (Four Thirds) feature totally different sensor size.

The M50 was released 7 years later than the E-P2 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon M50 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus E-P2 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving through a full comparison, below is a short view of how the M50 grades versus the E-P2 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you choose at the time. Here is the front view overall size comparison of the M50 against the E-P2.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M50 and E-P2 is 79 and 86 respectively.

Normally, it's hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at specs. The photograph below might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M50 and E-P2.

All in all, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M50 due to its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon M50 will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern M50 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
