The E-M10 II was unveiled 4 years later than the SP-810 UZ and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-M10 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus SP-810 UZ being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a short summation of how the E-M10 II matches up versus the SP-810 UZ with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus OM-D E-M10 II and Olympus SP-810 UZ. The full galleries are viewable at Olympus E-M10 II Gallery and Olympus SP-810 UZ Gallery.

More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements merely by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 II and SP-810 UZ.

As you can see, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 II having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus E-M10 II will produce more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images more aggressively. The younger E-M10 II provides an edge in sensor technology.
