Olympus E-P2 vs Olympus E-P7

Lets look a little more in depth at the Olympus E-P2 and Olympus E-P7, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras and both are created by Olympus. There exists a large gap among the image resolutions of the E-P2 (12MP) and E-P7 (20MP) but both cameras posses the identical sensor measurements (Four Thirds).

The E-P2 was manufactured 12 years earlier than the E-P7 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief overview of how the E-P2 scores against the E-P7 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Quite often, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through specifications. The picture underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the E-P2 and E-P7.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Olympus E-P7 to provide greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-P2 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
