Fujifilm X-H2S vs Olympus E-M1X Overview

Let's look a little more in depth at the Fujifilm X-H2S versus Olympus E-M1X, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by manufacturers FujiFilm and Olympus. There exists a big gap among the resolutions of the Fujifilm X-H2S (26MP) and E-M1X (20MP) and the Fujifilm X-H2S (APS-C) and E-M1X (Four Thirds) possess totally different sensor measurements.

Sora from OpenAI releases its first ever music video

The Fujifilm X-H2S was released 3 years later than the E-M1X and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight into a complete comparison, below is a simple summary of how the Fujifilm X-H2S grades versus the E-M1X when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Fujifilm X-H2S vs Olympus E-M1X Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, its tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-H2S and E-M1X.
As you can see, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H2S featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-H2S will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
