Olympus FE-47 vs Olympus E-M1 III

Below is a detailed analysis of the Olympus FE-47 versus Olympus E-M1 III, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Pro Mirrorless and both of them are produced by Olympus. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the FE-47 (14MP) and E-M1 III (20MP) and the FE-47 (1/2.3") and E-M1 III (Four Thirds) posses different sensor measurements.

The FE-47 was brought out 11 years prior to the E-M1 III and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Olympus FE-47 being a Compact camera and the Olympus E-M1 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a in depth comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the FE-47 matches up vs the E-M1 III with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus FE-47 and Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III. The entire galleries are provided at Olympus FE-47 Gallery and Olympus E-M1 III Gallery.

For those who are intending to lug around your camera, you'll have to factor in its weight and size.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the FE-47 against the E-M1 III.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the FE-47 and E-M1 III is 93 and 67 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at specifications. The graphic below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-47 and E-M1 III.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FE-47 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Olympus E-M1 III will give you extra detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The older FE-47 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
