Fujifilm X-T10 vs Olympus E-M5

The following is a extended assessment of the Fujifilm X-T10 and Olympus E-M5, former is a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands FujiFilm and Olympus. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X-T10 (16MP) and the E-M5 (16MP) is pretty comparable but the Fujifilm X-T10 (APS-C) and E-M5 (Four Thirds) offer totally different sensor size.

The Fujifilm X-T10 was released 3 years after the E-M5 which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a in depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the Fujifilm X-T10 scores versus the E-M5 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X-T10 & Olympus OM-D E-M5. The complete galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X-T10 Gallery & Olympus E-M5 Gallery.

If you're planning to travel with your camera frequently, you will need to consider its weight and size.

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.
