FujiFilm S3200 vs Olympus E-M5 III

Lets take a closer look at the FujiFilm S3200 versus Olympus E-M5 III, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands FujiFilm and Olympus. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the S3200 (14MP) and E-M5 III (20MP) and the S3200 (1/2.3") and E-M5 III (Four Thirds) offer different sensor sizing.

The S3200 was unveiled 9 years prior to the E-M5 III which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the FujiFilm S3200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Olympus E-M5 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a full comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the S3200 scores versus the E-M5 III when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are utilizing at that moment. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the S3200 compared to the E-M5 III.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S3200 and E-M5 III is 67 and 80 respectively.

Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The pic below will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S3200 and E-M5 III.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S3200 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Olympus E-M5 III will give you greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged S3200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
