Fujifilm X-A5 vs Pentax Q7

On this page, we will be comparing the Fujifilm X-A5 vs Pentax Q7, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by competitors FujiFilm and Pentax. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the Fujifilm X-A5 (24MP) and Q7 (12MP) and the Fujifilm X-A5 (APS-C) and Q7 (1/1.7") provide different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm X-A5 was manufactured 4 years later than the Q7 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight to a detailed comparison, here is a short highlight of how the Fujifilm X-A5 grades versus the Q7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X-A5 and Pentax Q7. The entire galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X-A5 Gallery and Pentax Q7 Gallery.

Often, it is hard to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements only by viewing specs. The graphic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-A5 and Q7.

All in all, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-A5 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-A5 will render greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-A5 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
