The E-M5 III was revealed 10 years after the 7010 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-M5 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus 7010 being a Compact camera.

Before getting into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief view of how the E-M5 III scores vs the 7010 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus OM-D E-M5 III and Olympus Stylus 7010. The full galleries are available at Olympus E-M5 III Gallery and Olympus 7010 Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to travel with your camera, you'll have to factor in its weight and proportions.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use during that time. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the E-M5 III versus the 7010.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the E-M5 III and 7010 is 80 and 94 respectively.

Quite often, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions merely by checking specifications. The pic underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M5 III and 7010.

To sum up, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-M5 III using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Olympus E-M5 III will resolve extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The fresher E-M5 III should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
