The E-M5 II was announced 5 years after the W350 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-M5 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony W350 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting into a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise summation of how the E-M5 II scores vs the W350 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus OM-D E-M5 II and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350. The whole galleries are available at Olympus E-M5 II Gallery and Sony W350 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry around your camera regularly, you need to factor in its weight and measurements. The Olympus E-M5 II provides outside measurements of 124mm x 85mm x 45mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 1.8") and a weight of 469 grams (1.03 lbs) while the Sony W350 has proportions of 91mm x 52mm x 17mm (3.6" x 2.0" x 0.7") having a weight of 117 grams (0.26 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have attached at that moment. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the E-M5 II versus the W350.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the E-M5 II and W350 is 80 and 97 respectively.

Generally, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes only by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M5 II and W350.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-M5 II using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-M5 II will show greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher E-M5 II should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
