MIRRORLESS BATTLE Micro 43 vs APS C vs Full FrameSteve Huff Photo. MIRRORLESS BATTLE Micro 43 vs APS C vs Full Frame E M1, X T1, A7s 8 side by side tests. Alien Skin Bokeh 2 Mac CrackedThis was a blast to do, and shows the STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES of Micro 43, APS C and Full Frame cameras, specifically the E M1, X T1 and A7s. Even I was surprised at some of these results and I did each test fair and square according to my rules below, which have been my comparison rules for seven years because it shows REAL WORLD shooting not nonsense that no one does when shooting an not pro studio or lit images from a shooter who is sponsored by a camera company. This is as close as I will ever get to a scientific test while keeping it real world, and yes, it is what it is. Even so, whatever camera loses this test will have the fans of that brand attacking me, no matter which one loses. Should be entertaining in that regard as well. Images and test descriptions will speak for themselves. Just how much difference is there between Micro 43,  APS C and Full Frame when using the same or equivalent focal length Sharpness, IS, color, detail, B W conversions and more are tested here. I let each camera choose exposure. I am using the E M1, X T1 and A7s for this test so take it as just that. I set the aperture on each camera to match DOF of the smaller sensors the best I could for some tests.

Les dlls pour faire fonctionner vos filtres. En ce qui concerne Windows10. Seven. For one test I will use each lens wide open to show DOF differences. I shot each camera in the same way for each test, either hand held or tripod. ALL images are converted straight from RAW, WYSIWYGUsed the 2. E M1, 3. 5 1. 4 on the Fuji and 5. Sony. I will pick my personal preference winner after each test based on the test itself. Score will be tallied at the end. These will be my preferences and may not be yours, which is OK. I used Adobe Camera RAW for ALL conversions which is what 9. RAW files. No jumping through hoops to help any brand. Was going to use A7. II but it has many more MP and I had loaned it out to a friend for a few days so I did not have it. The A7s is the Sony Flagship in the A7 line, and is closest in MP to the Olympus and Fuji. As this is a test of cameras in real world use, I let cameras choose exposure and used AWB so we can see what to expect in the real world. When we go out to shoot these cameras 9. So what you see here is what you can expect to get from each systems flagship camera. For detail shots all cameras were set to same ISO and Aperture. With all of that out of the way, remember that the tests here are all dependent on lenses used. Some lenses on some systems will render differently when it comes to sharpness, color, bokeh, etc. I used a well regarded lens for each system, lenses that have had rave reviews. OLY 2. 5 1. 4 Panaleica. FUJI 3. 5 1. 4 Fuji. SONY 5. 5 1. 8 Zeiss. Hand held test at 16. IQ. My pick for best IQ here at 16. Olympus E M1 for sharpness and color. Right click on each image and open in a new tab or window for full size files. The reason the E M1 did so well and WON the 1st test belowThe 5 Axis IS kept it steady letting me shoot in lower light at a minimal ISO. The other two bumped ISO but also were stopped down a little more. ALL were at 16. 0th S. If each image was sharp, it would almost be a wash here and would have to go by color preferences. I still prefer the E M1 color here as well but what is important is it shows how useful the 5 Axis can be, even for 16. YOU MUST CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER AND CORRECT VERSIONSTripod Test Stopped Down for DETAIL Same aperture on each camera. The winner to my eyes is Olympus yet again. Here I stopped down each lens to F4. NO, I did not stop down the larger sensors more as this is in no way a DOF test, it is a detail test and each lens should be at the same aperture to be 1. So the Olympus E M1 and 2. F4, the Fuji X T1 and 3. Sony A7s and 5. 5 1. All were ISO 2. 00, all were shot from a tripod that was in the same exact position for each camera. YOU MUST CLICK THE IMAGES TO SEE THE LARGER VERSIONS AS  TRUE 1. LARGE CROPSSMALLER CROPS Each Lens Wide Open A Shallow DOF Test. For me, there is no substitute for Full Frame if you want shallow DOF, but some will prefer a little bit of a larger DOF that you get from Micro 43 or APS C. The reason being is that with the Olympus, you can still get some shallow DOF but you image will be sharper with more detail in most cases, if using a good lens. Same with APS C in most cases. With full frame you can miss focus easily due to the shallow DOF. BUT if you nail it with FF the results are indisputable. For this reason, I choose the SONY as the winner here as it has the most capability for SHALLOW DOF or LARGE DOF and  this is a shallow DOF test  BTW, the most detail at 1. E M1 but for shallow DOF, nothing beats full frame. The differences you see are from the lens focal length, not the sensor. The wider the less the larger the DOF less blur, the longer the lens the more shallow DOF more blur. Olympus used a 2. Fuji a 3. 5mm and the Sony a 5. All give the same equivalent field of view but each lens has an effect on Depth of Field which is why you see a more shallow DOF on the Sony. As you can see, the difference between the DOF with the APS C Fuji and Olympus are actually slight. Nothing to stress over. YOU MUST CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER AND CORRECT VERSIONSB W Conversion Test. I did a crazy comparison test once showing how the E M1 could replicate the Leica Monochrom to some extent, when it came to tonality not detail so how will this test go for B W conversion between these three powerhouse camerasFor this test I shot in color and then converted to B W using the same exact Alien Skin B W filter for each file. Many claim Fuji has an amazing capability for B W conversion, above other standard cameras. I never noticed this at all, so  lets see how that holds upCLICK EACH IMAGE TO SEE IT CORRECTLY For me, and my tastes, I prefer the Olympus rendering the most. To me, it resembles the Leica Monochrom more than the others, and that is a camera I consider to be the best B W camera ever made next to film of course. In fact, this E M1 file looks eerily similar to a Monochom file. There seems to be more grayish tones and more black details which is preferred, especially for post processing. The Fuji is 2nd place for my tastes and the Sony 3rd but they look the same as any camera B W conversion. For the most grey tones, the Olympus somehow gets it. You can see more details when clicking on the images for larger sizes as long as you are not viewing on a phone. But let us see another B W exampleCLICK THEM TO SEE THEM CORRECTLYAgain, here I slightly prefer the Olympus but ALL are great. I see none here that are a huge step above the others though the Olympus has the most detail yet again. Interesting huh SCORE SO FAR So far we have Olympus with 2, Sony with 1 and Fuji with 0. Disk Wipe Software. Lets keep on moving. Color Test. Just to show how each camera renders colors. These are all from RAW so any in camera color choice will not come into play. Shot outdoors in natural direct light to give all cameras the best chance at showing their stuff. This will be 1. 00 personal preference as what I like in color you may not. I did three color shots and chose three different winners, so this one is a draw as color can be quite good from all of these cameras. The 1st sample is for color accuracy only.
