Canon T8i vs Olympus E-30

Here is a in-depth assessment of the Canon T8i versus Olympus E-30, former being a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Advanced DSLR by brands Canon and Olympus. There exists a substantial gap among the resolutions of the T8i (24MP) and E-30 (12MP) and the T8i (APS-C) and E-30 (Four Thirds) possess totally different sensor measurements.

The T8i was brought out 11 years later than the E-30 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Canon T8i being a Compact SLR camera and the Olympus E-30 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick view of how the T8i grades vs the E-30 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Normally, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the T8i and E-30.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The T8i featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon T8i will produce more detail having its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent T8i is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
