Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Sony A33, which was introduced in August 2010 is a Entry-Level DSLR camera with a 14.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Olympus E-PL1s, which was introduced in November 2010 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 12.0MP Four Thirds sensor. There is only 3 months difference between A33 and E-PL1s so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Sony A33 and Olympus E-PL1s before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Sony A33 and Olympus E-PL1s compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
