Fujifilm X-T10 vs Olympus E-P5

In this write-up, we will be looking at the Fujifilm X-T10 vs Olympus E-P5, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Olympus. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X-T10 (16MP) and the E-P5 (16MP) is pretty similar but the Fujifilm X-T10 (APS-C) and E-P5 (Four Thirds) enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm X-T10 was announced 20 months later than the E-P5 which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Fujifilm X-T10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus E-P5 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a full comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the Fujifilm X-T10 grades versus the E-P5 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have chosen at that time. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the Fujifilm X-T10 vs the E-P5.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm X-T10 and E-P5 is 83 and 85 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing technical specs. The visual below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T10 and E-P5.

As you can tell, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact megapixel count albeit not the same sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T10 uses the bigger sensor which should make getting shallow DOF less difficult. The more modern Fujifilm X-T10 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
