Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-P2 Overview

Here, we are matching up the Fujifilm X-S20 and Olympus E-P2, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by companies FujiFilm and Olympus. There is a significant difference between the resolutions of the X-S20 (26MP) and E-P2 (12MP) and the X-S20 (APS-C) and E-P2 (Four Thirds) boast totally different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The X-S20 was revealed 13 years later than the E-P2 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm X-S20 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus E-P2 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the X-S20 matches up against the E-P2 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-P2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing just by checking technical specs. The photograph here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and E-P2.
As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 with its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will give more detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
