Olympus E-M10 II vs Sony W650

Lets look closer at the Olympus E-M10 II versus Sony W650, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by rivals Olympus and Sony. The resolution of the E-M10 II (16MP) and the W650 (16MP) is very well matched but the E-M10 II (Four Thirds) and W650 (1/2.3") have different sensor size.

Quite often, its hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through technical specs. The photograph here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 II and W650.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature the identical megapixels but different sensor measurements. The E-M10 II offers the larger sensor which should make achieving shallow depth of field easier. The more modern E-M10 II provides a benefit in sensor technology.
