Olympus E-M10 II vs Sony NEX-C3

Lets look much closer at the Olympus E-M10 II versus Sony NEX-C3, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by brands Olympus and Sony. The image resolution of the E-M10 II (16MP) and the NEX-C3 (16MP) is very comparable but the E-M10 II (Four Thirds) and NEX-C3 (APS-C) come with totally different sensor size.

The E-M10 II was introduced 4 years later than the NEX-C3 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-M10 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony NEX-C3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go through a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the E-M10 II matches up versus the NEX-C3 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The photograph underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 II and NEX-C3.

Plainly, both cameras enjoy the same exact megapixels but not the same sensor sizing. The E-M10 II contains the smaller sensor which will make obtaining shallower depth of field harder. The more recent E-M10 II is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
