The OM System OM-5 was announced 12 years later than the GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the OM System OM-5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a short introduction of how the OM System OM-5 matches up vs the GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for OM System OM-5 and Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC. The whole galleries are viewable at OM System OM-5 Gallery and Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC Gallery.

If you're intending to carry your camera often, you will want to factor in its weight and dimensions. The OM System OM-5 provides external measurements of 125mm x 85mm x 50mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 2.0") and a weight of 414 grams (0.91 lbs) whilst the Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC has dimensions of 114mm x 58mm x 50mm (4.5" x 2.3" x 2.0") and a weight of 367 grams (0.81 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are using at the time. The following is the front view measurements comparison of the OM System OM-5 versus the GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the OM System OM-5 and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC is 80 and 85 respectively.

Quite often, it's tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at specs. The photograph below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the OM System OM-5 and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The OM System OM-5 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the OM System OM-5 will resolve greater detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger OM System OM-5 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
