Olympus E-410 vs Sony NEX-5T

Here, we are analyzing the Olympus E-410 vs Sony NEX-5T, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Olympus and Sony. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the E-410 (10MP) and NEX-5T (16MP) and the E-410 (Four Thirds) and NEX-5T (APS-C) have different sensor measurements.

The E-410 was announced 7 years earlier than the NEX-5T and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-410 being a Compact SLR camera and the Sony NEX-5T being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the E-410 scores vs the NEX-5T in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus E-410 and Sony Alpha NEX-5T. The whole galleries are viewable at Olympus E-410 Gallery and Sony NEX-5T Gallery.

In case you're aiming to lug around your camera, you need to take into account its weight and proportions.

Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by going over specs. The graphic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the E-410 and NEX-5T.

All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-410 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony NEX-5T will deliver greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The older E-410 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
