OM System OM-5 vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes merely by checking out specifications. The picture below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the OM System OM-5 and Quattro H.

Plainly, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The OM System OM-5 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sigma Quattro H will produce more detail as a result of its extra 25MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer OM System OM-5 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
