Fujifilm X-T1 IR vs Olympus SP-810 UZ

In this write-up, we are analyzing the Fujifilm X-T1 IR versus Olympus SP-810 UZ, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals FujiFilm and Olympus. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X-T1 IR (16MP) and the SP-810 UZ (14MP) is fairly well matched but the Fujifilm X-T1 IR (APS-C) and SP-810 UZ (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm X-T1 IR was announced 4 years after the SP-810 UZ which is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Fujifilm X-T1 IR being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus SP-810 UZ being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going in to a thorough comparison, below is a short view of how the Fujifilm X-T1 IR matches up vs the SP-810 UZ in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm X-T1 IR & Olympus SP-810 UZ. The whole galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-T1 IR Gallery & Olympus SP-810 UZ Gallery.

If you're going to travel with your camera regularly, you will have to factor its weight and dimensions.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you select at that time. Following is the front view measurements comparison of the Fujifilm X-T1 IR compared to the SP-810 UZ.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X-T1 IR and SP-810 UZ is 79 and 78 respectively.

Normally, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T1 IR and SP-810 UZ.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T1 IR with its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-T1 IR will resolve more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-T1 IR is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
