Olympus E-M10 IV vs Fujifilm X100V Comparison Overview

Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Olympus E-M10 IV, which was introduced in August 2020 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 20.0MP Four Thirds sensor whereas Fujifilm X100V, which was introduced in February 2020 is a Large Sensor Compact camera with a 26.0MP APS-C sensor. There is only 6 months difference between E-M10 IV and X100V so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.

Olympus E-M10 IV vs Fujifilm X100V: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Olympus E-M10 IV and Fujifilm X100V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus E-M10 IV has external dimensions of 122 x 84 x 49 mm (4.8 x 3.31 x 1.93″) and weighs 383 g (0.84 lb / 13.51 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X100V has external dimensions of 128 x 75 x 53 mm (5.04 x 2.95 x 2.09″) and weighs 478 g (1.05 lb / 16.86 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Olympus E-M10 IV and Fujifilm X100V. Olympus E-M10 IV is 6mm narrower and 4mm thinner than Fujifilm X100V but it is also 9mm taller. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm X100V has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M10 IV doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M10 IV, its thickness will increase significantly.

Here is the back view size comparison of Olympus E-M10 IV and Fujifilm X100V.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus E-M10 IV and Fujifilm X100V.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Olympus E-M10 IV is significantly lighter (95g ) than the Fujifilm X100V which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-M10 IV, the total kit will weigh much higher.

Weather Sealing

Thanks to the weather sealed body of X100V, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to E-M10 IV.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Olympus E-M10 IV and Fujifilm X100V's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".

Both cameras feature Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels.
Olympus E-M10 IV vs Fujifilm X100V: Sensor Comparison

Olympus E-M10 IV has a 20.0MP Four Thirds (17.4 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features TruePic VIII processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X100V has a 26.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor Pro 4 processor.

Fujifilm X100V's sensor provides 6MP more than Olympus E-M10 IV's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Fujifilm X100V's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the E-M10 IV and X100V sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Olympus E-M10 IV and Fujifilm X100V Cameras


As seen above, Fujifilm X100V has a 1.6x Larger sensor area than Olympus E-M10 IV. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
