Olympus E-M1 II vs Olympus VG-145

Let's examine more closely at the Olympus E-M1 II vs Olympus VG-145, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact and they are both sold by Olympus. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the E-M1 II (20MP) and VG-145 (14MP) and the E-M1 II (Four Thirds) and VG-145 (1/2.3") come with different sensor size.

The E-M1 II was released 5 years later than the VG-145 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-M1 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus VG-145 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short view of how the E-M1 II grades versus the VG-145 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and Olympus VG-145. The complete galleries are available at Olympus E-M1 II Gallery and Olympus VG-145 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Following is the front view physical size comparison of the E-M1 II vs the VG-145.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the E-M1 II and VG-145 is 68 and 96 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading technical specs. The graphic underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1 II and VG-145.

As you can tell, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-M1 II featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M1 II will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer E-M1 II should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
