Fujifilm X-M1 vs Olympus E-P3

Its time to take a more detailed look at the Fujifilm X-M1 versus Olympus E-P3, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Olympus. There exists a large gap among the image resolutions of the Fujifilm X-M1 (16MP) and E-P3 (12MP) and the Fujifilm X-M1 (APS-C) and E-P3 (Four Thirds) feature totally different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm X-M1 was introduced 2 years later than the E-P3 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go through a full comparison, below is a short highlight of how the Fujifilm X-M1 scores versus the E-P3 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X-M1 & Olympus PEN E-P3. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm X-M1 Gallery & Olympus E-P3 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera frequently, you're going to have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Quite often, it's hard to see the contrast in sensor sizing just by checking out specifications. The visual here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-M1 and E-P3.

Plainly, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-M1 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-M1 will show greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-M1 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
