Whats surprising is that while the depth of field is shallower on the Nikon d7200 + 50mm f/1.4 combination it isn’t that huge a difference that a normal person would really notice. Here we can see that the D7200 produces a richer image with more saturation and contrast. Nikon D7200 + 50mm f/1.4 wide open Pen F + 45mm f/1.8 wide open As it is it is a pretty cool feature and I could see it being superb for architectural photography and fine art for static subjects.īelow is a comparison of the Nikon D7200 + 50mm f/1.4 wide open vs the Olympus Pen F + 45mm f/1.8 again wide open. If Olympus can find a way to get this high-resolution mode to work handheld as rumoured on the OM-D E-M1 II then it could be incredible for landscapes. The colours are so rich compared to all the other three shots. Now there are some serious issues with this image due to movement in the background but just look at the colours it produces. High Resolution shot from the Olympus + 17mm f/1.8 It’s pretty close though.īelow is the same shot taken in the Olympus Hi resolution mode. The Fuji also offers a little more subject isolation at this aperture due to the larger sensor. The Pen F and Olympus f/1.8 handle flare fine but the colours aren’t quite as rich as the Fuji. The colours are a bit richer from the Fuji because it doesn’t suffer with the flare issue. This is the fault of the lens not the camera. This was unavoidable in this light at this focal length. Notice the flare in the Nikon D7200 shot which is washing out the colours. Micro 4/3 vs APS-C Raw shootout Nikon D7200 +18-140mm f/3.8 at 24mm

I know that this is not giving you scientific equivalents in terms of depth of field etc but most people don’t think like that when they are taking photos. I shot the cameras at the same apertures where possible because this is how I would shoot them in real life. All the first images were shot in Raw and converted to Jpeg in Lightroom with no adjustments. Looking at quick samples like this can give an idea of how different camera brands render images, how much bokeh can you get with each format, what is the difference in IQ and which camera produces the photos you like best. Then I swapped out the Nikon kit lens for the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 and compared it to the Olympus Pen F with the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 attached. I shot the Nikon with the 18-140mm kit lens at 24mm and compared it against the Fuji X100T and the Pen F with the Olympus 17mm f/1.8. So I used a Nikon D7200, a Fuji X100T and the Olympus Pen F. I woke up this morning with the sun shining and thought it would be fun to compare the various cameras I’ve got at the moment. This post is just for fun, it is not meant to be scientific but will just give a quick idea of how the different sensor sizes look and perform in the real world. I’ve got a bunch of cameras at the moment so I thought it would be fun to do a quick Micro 4/3 vs APS-C shootout.
