Fujifilm X-E2S vs Olympus E-P5

The following is a in-depth review of the Fujifilm X-E2S vs Olympus E-P5, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Olympus. The resolution of the Fujifilm X-E2S (16MP) and the E-P5 (16MP) is relatively similar but the Fujifilm X-E2S (APS-C) and E-P5 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor size.

The Fujifilm X-E2S was introduced 2 years after the E-P5 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the Fujifilm X-E2S grades vs the E-P5 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X-E2S & Olympus PEN E-P5. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm X-E2S Gallery & Olympus E-P5 Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera regularly, you will want to factor in its weight and size.

Normally, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specifications. The pic below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-E2S and E-P5.

To sum up, both of those cameras have the same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E2S features the bigger sensor which is going to make obtaining shallower DOF easier. The younger Fujifilm X-E2S is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
