The Fujifilm X-A10 was announced 2 years later than the E-PL6 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a complete comparison, here is a quick summary of how the Fujifilm X-A10 scores vs the E-PL6 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X-A10 and Olympus PEN E-PL6. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm X-A10 Gallery and Olympus E-PL6 Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera, you need to think about its weight and dimensions.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are utilizing during that time. Here is a front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm X-A10 vs the E-PL6.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X-A10 and E-PL6 is 86 and 88 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-A10 and E-PL6.

Clearly, the two cameras have the same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-A10 contains the bigger sensor which should make achieving shallower DOF less difficult. The fresher Fujifilm X-A10 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
