Olympus VG-110 vs Sony A7c

Its time to take a deeper look at the Olympus VG-110 versus Sony A7c, one being a Ultracompact and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Olympus and Sony. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the VG-110 (12MP) and A7c (24MP) and the VG-110 (1/2.3") and A7c (Full frame) offer different sensor sizes.

The VG-110 was released 10 years prior to the A7c and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Olympus VG-110 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony A7c being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short highlight of how the VG-110 scores versus the A7c with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus VG-110 and Sony Alpha A7c. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus VG-110 Gallery and Sony A7c Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera often, you need to think about its weight and volume.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are working with at the time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the VG-110 versus the A7c.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the VG-110 and A7c is 97 and 78 respectively.

Typically, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reviewing technical specs. The visual here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the VG-110 and A7c.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The VG-110 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7c will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older VG-110 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
