Fujifilm X-E3 vs Olympus E-P3

Here, we will be evaluating the Fujifilm X-E3 versus Olympus E-P3, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Olympus. There exists a considerable gap among the image resolutions of the Fujifilm X-E3 (24MP) and E-P3 (12MP) and the Fujifilm X-E3 (APS-C) and E-P3 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor sizing.

Typically, its hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements just by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E3 and E-P3.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E3 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-E3 will render greater detail due to its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E3 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
