Olympus E-PM1 vs Panasonic G95

Below, we will be matching up the Olympus E-PM1 versus Panasonic G95, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Olympus and Panasonic. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the E-PM1 (12MP) and G95 (20.3MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizing (Four Thirds).

The E-PM1 was announced 8 years prior to the G95 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus E-PM1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a thorough comparison, below is a simple summary of how the E-PM1 matches up against the G95 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus PEN E-PM1 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G95. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus E-PM1 Gallery and Panasonic G95 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to carry around your camera often, you have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Olympus E-PM1 features outer measurements of 110mm x 64mm x 34mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.3") along with a weight of 265 grams (0.58 lbs) and the Panasonic G95 has measurements of 130mm x 94mm x 77mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 3.0") with a weight of 536 grams (1.18 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are working with at that time. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the E-PM1 and the G95.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the E-PM1 and G95 is 89 and 67 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading through specs. The pic below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the E-PM1 and G95.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic G95 to resolve greater detail with its extra 8.3MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged E-PM1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
