Olympus E-M10 III vs Olympus VH-410

Below is a complete analysis of the Olympus E-M10 III vs Olympus VH-410, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and both of them are produced by Olympus. The sensor resolution of the E-M10 III (16MP) and the VH-410 (16MP) is relatively similar but the E-M10 III (Four Thirds) and VH-410 (1/2.3") use different sensor sizing.

The E-M10 III was revealed 5 years later than the VH-410 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-M10 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus VH-410 being a Compact camera.

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a simple overview of how the E-M10 III grades against the VH-410 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III and Olympus VH-410. The full galleries are viewable at Olympus E-M10 III Gallery and Olympus VH-410 Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you are going to need to think about its weight and measurements. The Olympus E-M10 III features outside measurements of 122mm x 84mm x 50mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 2.0") and a weight of 410 grams (0.90 lbs) and the Olympus VH-410 has proportions of 102mm x 60mm x 21mm (4.0" x 2.4" x 0.8") and a weight of 152 grams (0.34 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. The following is the front view sizing comparison of the E-M10 III versus the VH-410.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the E-M10 III and VH-410 is 80 and 95 respectively.

Normally, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The visual below may offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 III and VH-410.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact megapixels albeit different sensor measurements. The E-M10 III features the bigger sensor which will make getting shallower depth of field simpler. The more modern E-M10 III should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
