Olympus E-P5 vs Sony WX10

Let's look closer at the Olympus E-P5 versus Sony WX10, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Olympus and Sony. The image resolution of the E-P5 (16MP) and the WX10 (16MP) is relatively close but the E-P5 (Four Thirds) and WX10 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor sizes.

The E-P5 was introduced 2 years after the WX10 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus E-P5 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony WX10 being a Compact camera.

Before getting straight into a detailed comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the E-P5 matches up against the WX10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-P5 and WX10.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizes. The E-P5 has got the bigger sensor which is going to make getting bokeh simpler. The more modern E-P5 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
