Olympus E-M10 IV vs Panasonic G1

Lets look more in depth at the Olympus E-M10 IV and Panasonic G1, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by rivals Olympus and Panasonic. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the E-M10 IV (20MP) and G1 (12MP) but both cameras offer the identical sensor measurements (Four Thirds).

The E-M10 IV was brought out 11 years later than the G1 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going into a complete comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the E-M10 IV scores vs the G1 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anyone who is planning to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to factor its weight and measurements. The Olympus E-M10 IV features external measurements of 122mm x 84mm x 49mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 1.9") accompanied by a weight of 383 grams (0.84 lbs) whilst the Panasonic G1 has proportions of 124mm x 84mm x 45mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 1.8") with a weight of 360 grams (0.79 lbs).

More often than not, it can be hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The visual underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 IV and G1.

Plainly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Olympus E-M10 IV to produce extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher E-M10 IV will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
