The E-M10 II was manufactured 5 years later than the S2000 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-M10 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony S2000 being a Compact camera.

Before getting straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the E-M10 II matches up versus the S2000 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus OM-D E-M10 II and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2000. The entire galleries are provided at Olympus E-M10 II Gallery and Sony S2000 Gallery.

Often, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 II and S2000.

As you can see, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 II featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M10 II will show greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The newer E-M10 II will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
