Fujifilm X-Pro1 vs Panasonic GX8

Let's look more closely at the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Panasonic GX8, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors FujiFilm and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm X-Pro1 (16MP) and the GX8 (20MP) is relatively well matched but the Fujifilm X-Pro1 (APS-C) and GX8 (Four Thirds) provide different sensor dimensions.

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 was unveiled 4 years earlier than the GX8 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a full comparison, here is a simple summary of how the Fujifilm X-Pro1 grades vs the GX8 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm X-Pro1 Gallery and Panasonic GX8 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to lug around your camera, you'll have to take into account its weight and volume.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is a front view measurements comparison of the Fujifilm X-Pro1 versus the GX8.

Looking at size and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and GX8 is 80 and 74 respectively.

In many cases, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The graphic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and GX8.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-Pro1 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Panasonic GX8 will resolve greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-Pro1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
