Olympus E-M10 IV vs Sony H200

Its time to look closer at the Olympus E-M10 IV versus Sony H200, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Olympus and Sony. The image resolution of the E-M10 IV (20MP) and the H200 (20MP) is relatively well matched but the E-M10 IV (Four Thirds) and H200 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor size.

The E-M10 IV was revealed 7 years later than the H200 and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-M10 IV being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving in to a full comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the E-M10 IV matches up vs the H200 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200. The full galleries are available at Olympus E-M10 IV Gallery and Sony H200 Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor in its weight and measurements. The Olympus E-M10 IV offers exterior dimensions of 122mm x 84mm x 49mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 1.9") accompanied by a weight of 383 grams (0.84 lbs) and the Sony H200 has proportions of 123mm x 83mm x 87mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 3.4") accompanied by a weight of 530 grams (1.17 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you select during that time. Below is the front view dimension comparison of the E-M10 IV vs the H200.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the E-M10 IV and H200 is 81 and 67 respectively.

Usually, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 IV and H200.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer the same exact resolution albeit different sensor sizing. The E-M10 IV includes the bigger sensor which is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier. The more recent E-M10 IV should have a benefit in sensor tech.
