Fujifilm X-E2S vs Olympus E-PM2

Lets look more in depth at the Fujifilm X-E2S vs Olympus E-PM2, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by brands FujiFilm and Olympus. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X-E2S (16MP) and the E-PM2 (16MP) is relatively comparable but the Fujifilm X-E2S (APS-C) and E-PM2 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm X-E2S was introduced 2 years later than the E-PM2 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a quick view of how the Fujifilm X-E2S matches up against the E-PM2 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, its difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E2S and E-PM2.

Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical megapixel count albeit not the same sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E2S uses the bigger sensor which will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler. The fresher Fujifilm X-E2S will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
