Olympus FE-3010 vs Panasonic GH5

Here, we will be looking at the Olympus FE-3010 versus Panasonic GH5, former being a Ultracompact while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by manufacturers Olympus and Panasonic. There is a substantial difference among the resolutions of the FE-3010 (12MP) and GH5 (20MP) and the FE-3010 (1/2.3") and GH5 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The FE-3010 was introduced 9 years before the GH5 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Olympus FE-3010 being a Ultracompact camera and the Panasonic GH5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the FE-3010 scores vs the GH5 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you use at the time. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the FE-3010 compared to the GH5.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the FE-3010 and GH5 is 97 and 59 respectively.

Usually, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor measurements just by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic below may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-3010 and GH5.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FE-3010 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic GH5 will produce greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older FE-3010 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
