Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Olympus E-PL7

Below, we are looking at the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Olympus E-PL7, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Olympus. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-Pro3 (26MP) and E-PL7 (16MP) and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 (APS-C) and E-PL7 (Four Thirds) enjoy different sensor size.

The Fujifilm X-Pro3 was manufactured 5 years later than the E-PL7 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the Fujifilm X-Pro3 grades versus the E-PL7 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For those who are going to lug around your camera often, you should factor its weight and volume. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 enjoys physical dimensions of 141mm x 83mm x 46mm (5.6" x 3.3" x 1.8") having a weight of 497 grams (1.10 lbs) whilst the Olympus E-PL7 has sizing of 115mm x 67mm x 38mm (4.5" x 2.6" x 1.5") along with a weight of 357 grams (0.79 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Underneath is the front view proportions comparison of the Fujifilm X-Pro3 against the E-PL7.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and E-PL7 is 78 and 86 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The photograph here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and E-PL7.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will produce more detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-Pro3 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
