Canon R vs Olympus E-M10 II

The following is a extensive assessment of the Canon R vs Olympus E-M10 II, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Olympus. There is a significant difference between the resolutions of the R (30MP) and E-M10 II (16MP) and the R (Full frame) and E-M10 II (Four Thirds) enjoy different sensor sizing.

The R was released 3 years after the E-M10 II which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going straight into a thorough comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the R matches up vs the E-M10 II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R and Olympus OM-D E-M10 II. The complete galleries are provided at Canon R Gallery and Olympus E-M10 II Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and measurements.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are employing during that time. Following is the front view overall size comparison of the R versus the E-M10 II.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the R and E-M10 II is 62 and 82 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very tough to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The image here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R and E-M10 II.

Clearly, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R will give greater detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern R should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
