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.

When you are going to carry your camera regularly, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements. The Olympus E-M10 II features physical measurements of 120mm x 83mm x 47mm (4.7" x 3.3" x 1.9") and a weight of 390 grams (0.86 lbs) whilst the Sony NEX-C3 has proportions of 110mm x 60mm x 33mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.3") having a weight of 225 grams (0.50 lbs).

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the E-M10 II and NEX-C3 is 82 and 91 respectively.

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.
