Fujifilm-XT1-vs-E-M1

Sensor: Fujifilm X-T1 features a 16 megapixel X-Trans CMOS sensor, the X-Trans bespoke pixel array, the sensor is designed with a randomized pixel pattern that completely eliminate the need of an optical low-pass filter without moiré and aliasing problems.

Olumpus E-M1 Comes with a Four Third format sensor, the sensor is smaller and will not perform as X-T1 camera in-terms of noise and dynamic range.

ISO Range of X-T1 is one stop more than Olympus E-M1, so you will sure get less noise in X-T1 images.

AF system: Both autofocus system that employs both contrast- and phase-detection methods / Both sensor have built in phase AF points so you get fast Auto Focus speed during still and video shoot.

Shutter: The Olympus E-M1 have upper hand here since  you get better shutter range and fast top continuous shooting speed compared to fujifilm X-T1.

Image Stabilization: The Olympus E-M1 have built in Image stabilization, it compensates for camera movements up to five shutter speed steps. The five axis work in vertical angle rotation, horizontal angle rotation, horizontal shift, vertical shift, and rolling camera shake movements.

  • The Olympus E-M1 does not have a low pass filter. The E-M5 had one but Olympus removed it for the newer model.

  • Snowdon

    Photos from the X-T1 are softer, because Fuji RAW files are processed in camera. So, less noise, less detail. Micro four thirds files are a little noisy but they clean up nicely. The difference between APSC and micro four thirds is not that big anymore. For optimal image quality you have to switch to full frame. But then you lose the depth of field advantage (if that’s your thing).
