Olympus FE-5010 vs Sony NEX-3N

The following is a comprehensive review of the Olympus FE-5010 versus Sony NEX-3N, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by brands Olympus and Sony. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the FE-5010 (12MP) and NEX-3N (16MP) and the FE-5010 (1/2.3") and NEX-3N (APS-C) provide different sensor measurements.

The FE-5010 was manufactured 5 years prior to the NEX-3N which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus FE-5010 being a Compact camera and the Sony NEX-3N being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the FE-5010 grades versus the NEX-3N for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus FE-5010 and Sony Alpha NEX-3N. The entire galleries are provided at Olympus FE-5010 Gallery and Sony NEX-3N Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Normally, it's difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The picture underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-5010 and NEX-3N.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FE-5010 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Sony NEX-3N will give greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-5010 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
