Olympus E-330 vs Sony NEX-F3

Its time to look a bit more in depth at the Olympus E-330 and Sony NEX-F3, one is a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Olympus and Sony. There exists a huge gap among the resolutions of the E-330 (7MP) and NEX-F3 (16MP) and the E-330 (Four Thirds) and NEX-F3 (APS-C) have totally different sensor size.

The E-330 was introduced 7 years earlier than the NEX-F3 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-330 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sony NEX-F3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a short view of how the E-330 matches up vs the NEX-F3 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The picture below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the E-330 and NEX-F3.

Clearly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The E-330 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony NEX-F3 will produce more detail using its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-330 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
