Fujifilm X-T10 vs Olympus E-M5 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions just by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T10 and E-M5.
Clearly, the two cameras come with the identical megapixels albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T10 comes with the bigger sensor which should make achieving shallower DOF less difficult. The fresher Fujifilm X-T10 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
