Olympus E-M1 II vs Sony H200

Below, we will be evaluating the Olympus E-M1 II vs Sony H200, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Olympus and Sony. The resolution of the E-M1 II (20MP) and the H200 (20MP) is pretty well matched but the E-M1 II (Four Thirds) and H200 (1/2.3") use totally different sensor sizes.

The E-M1 II was launched 3 years later than the H200 and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Olympus E-M1 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short view of how the E-M1 II scores vs the H200 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Typically, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing purely by checking specifications. The graphic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M1 II and H200.

Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same megapixels albeit not the same sensor sizing. The E-M1 II has the bigger sensor which will make obtaining shallower depth of field simpler. The more modern E-M1 II is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
