Olympus E-M10 II vs Sony RX100 V Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, its hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizing purely by checking out specifications. The photograph here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 II and RX100 V.
To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 II with its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony RX100 V will show greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older E-M10 II will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
