The E-PL7 was brought out 2 years later than the FZ200 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-PL7 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic FZ200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving through a complete comparison, below is a short highlight of how the E-PL7 grades vs the FZ200 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Typically, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by researching specifications. The visual here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-PL7 and FZ200.

Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-PL7 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Olympus E-PL7 will render greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern E-PL7 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
