Olympus E-PL7 vs Samsung PL120

Here, we will be contrasting the Olympus E-PL7 versus Samsung PL120, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact by companies Olympus and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the E-PL7 (16MP) and the PL120 (14MP) is relatively close but the E-PL7 (Four Thirds) and PL120 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor sizing.

The E-PL7 was unveiled 3 years later than the PL120 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-PL7 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung PL120 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting right into a complete comparison, here is a brief summary of how the E-PL7 matches up versus the PL120 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus PEN E-PL7 and Samsung PL120. The full galleries are available at Olympus E-PL7 Gallery and Samsung PL120 Gallery.

In case you're going to lug around your camera, you are going to need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Normally, it is hard to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through specifications. The visual underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-PL7 and PL120.

To sum up, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-PL7 using its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Olympus E-PL7 will render greater detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer E-PL7 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
