Fujifilm X-Pro1 vs Olympus E-P7

Here, we will be reviewing the Fujifilm X-Pro1 vs Olympus E-P7, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals FujiFilm and Olympus. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X-Pro1 (16MP) and the E-P7 (20MP) is pretty close but the Fujifilm X-Pro1 (APS-C) and E-P7 (Four Thirds) have different sensor sizing.

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 was introduced 10 years before the E-P7 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the Fujifilm X-Pro1 grades versus the E-P7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

More often than not, it is tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by viewing a spec sheet. The picture below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and E-P7.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-Pro1 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus E-P7 will render extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-Pro1 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
