Olympus E-M10 III vs Panasonic FZ60

Below is a detailed overview of the Olympus E-M10 III and Panasonic FZ60, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Olympus and Panasonic. The resolution of the E-M10 III (16MP) and the FZ60 (16MP) is pretty well matched but the E-M10 III (Four Thirds) and FZ60 (1/2.3") use different sensor sizes.

The E-M10 III was manufactured 5 years later than the FZ60 and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-M10 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic FZ60 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a short view of how the E-M10 III matches up vs the FZ60 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the E-M10 III and the FZ60.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the E-M10 III and FZ60 is 80 and 68 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The graphic here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 III and FZ60.

As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy the same exact megapixel count albeit different sensor measurements. The E-M10 III includes the bigger sensor which will make getting shallow DOF less difficult. The younger E-M10 III provides an advantage in sensor technology.
