I moved back to aps-c after I noticed my EM10 was giving me nearly zero benefit over the iPhone in terms of quality or resolution. The 16MP vs 12MP is barely noticeable, and the iPhone was actually sharper and had better tone in side-by-side shoots.
That was with a 6S!
- _ph_ 7y agoIt would be interesting to know which lenses you used on the E-M10, but while I made good photos with the 6s, in general they wouldn't compare to what I consistently get with mFT. The size difference between mFT and APS-C is neglible compared to the difference to the smartphone cameras. Where the iPhone shines is getting nicely automatically post-processed pictures. Olympus has an iAuto mode, which also aims for that. There are also a lot of in-camera settings where you can tweak the produced jpegs, if you don't want to post-process. The best quality you would get though by post-processing raw images on your computer.
- sh-run 7y agoYeah, I'm curious too. I've got a E-M5.2 and the photos I get on it are consistently better than what I get on my Xr. I mostly shoot in Aperture priority mode, but I switch to full manual in tricky situations. I do very basic editing with Darktable. Before I bought my E-M5.2 I had an E-PL2, looking at some of the pictures I took with the kit lens they are generally still better than the pictures I've taken on my phone.
- ricardobeat 7y agoI used mostly a Lumix 20mm 1.7, plus the kit 14-42mm and 40-150mm. As far as I know the sensor is the same in the EM5. Of course the camera gives a lot more creative freedom, but it felt pointless to carry a body + lenses for little improvement in quality, light as they were. I switched to a Fuji XT-2 and am much, much happier.
