Fujifilm X-E2 vs Panasonic G100

Here, we will be looking at the Fujifilm X-E2 and Panasonic G100, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors FujiFilm and Panasonic. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X-E2 (16MP) and the G100 (20MP) is relatively well matched but the Fujifilm X-E2 (APS-C) and G100 (Four Thirds) posses different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm X-E2 was launched 7 years earlier than the G100 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm X-E2 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief summary of how the Fujifilm X-E2 matches up vs the G100 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X-E2 and Panasonic Lumix DC-G100. The complete galleries are available at Fujifilm X-E2 Gallery and Panasonic G100 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera often, you will need to consider its weight and dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E2 has got exterior dimensions of 129mm x 75mm x 37mm (5.1" x 3.0" x 1.5") and a weight of 350 grams (0.77 lbs) while the Panasonic G100 has dimensions of 116mm x 83mm x 54mm (4.6" x 3.3" x 2.1") along with a weight of 352 grams (0.78 lbs).

Normally, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The visual underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E2 and G100.

To sum up, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E2 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic G100 will give greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E2 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
