#Micro four thirds sensor vs aps c manual

Now I better quickly run and put on my criticism deflector -). My conclusion: I can not (and trying not to) conclude that the E-M10 is better (or worse) than the K-01 due to the obvious lens IQ disparities between the two setups, but what I do conclude is that E-M10 + 17mm/1.8 is 'good enough' for the purpose that I bought it for therefore, I'm happy The result: images compared at the center only (obviously edge performance is irrelevant to this test), which is the sharpest point of either lenses. The PP: very same parameters (sharpening, colors, WB etc.) applied to both RAW images, then black levels adjusted at the same relative point in both images to make them both visually as comparable as I could. Images shot in RAW of course as comparing JPEGs is ludicrous IMO. Both are 16Mpix sensors, hence the Pentax photo sites are larger however, since the image is cropped, the APS-C image is really 14MPix in total, but I don't care as this is all I have. On the OMD I have the m.Zuiko 17mm/1.8 (my only m43 lens). Pentax zoom was set at approximately 21mm (equivalent to 17mm on M43), shooting in 4:3 format, handheld. I might do it again out of curiosity when I get my 21 back.

Because of the rapid growth of sensor technology and autofocusing systems, modern micro 4/3 cameras match the dynamic range of APS-C closely and. These image sensors are not far behind APS-C and measure close to 17 x 13mm. 220 mm 2, is approximately 30 less than the APS-C sensors used in other manufacturers DSLRs it is around 9 times larger than the 1/2. Micro four-thirds sensors are used mainly by Olympus, Panasonic, and earlier Fujifilm models in their mirrorless cameras. The only issue I have is that I didn't have my favorite DA21Ltd back from Ricoh Srvc Centre for this test, and which I would normally travel with, so I had to settle for the kit lens (DA 18-55) unfortunately. The image sensor of Four Thirds and MFT measures 18 mm × 13.5 mm (22.5 mm diagonal), with an imaging area of 17.3 mm × 13.0 mm (21.6 mm diagonal), comparable to the frame size of 110 film.

The setup: using Pentax metering (which tends to under-expose compared to the OMD metering) I set the cameras in Manual mode ISO 400 (a good middle ground), 1/125sec, f5.6 for both cameras. Yet, Olympus holds its own lower down the ISO range and does incorporate a highly effective 5-axis, in-body stabilisation system to help get sharp shots in low light. Some will undoubtedly point out that there is no good purpose or conclusion that can be drawn from such an uncontrolled test, but since I seldom carry a camera test lab with me on vacation, this ought to be good enough for me ! The Micro Four Thirds sensor is about half the size of an APS-C type, which means larger-format mirrorless cameras tend to produce better image quality at high ISO settings. is it good enough compared to what I usually use as my go-to best camera, the Pentax K-01, which has an APS-C sensor, and which I am also quite happy with IQ wise. The purpose: to determine if I will be happy using my new E-M10 as a travel camera, the purpose for which I bought it. Just another totally, absolutely, and undeniably unscientific test that I thought some might nevertheless enjoy seeing the result.
