My E-M10 vs Full Frame
9

When I first got my E-M10, it seemed so small and light. But, after a while it didn't seem all that small as it did at first. So I decided to pull out my SLR to remind me how big and heavy full-frame cameras were and how small my E-M10 really was but...

On top is my 1982 Minolta X-700 with a Minolta MD 50mm f/1.7 lens and below of course, my Olympus E-M10 with a Olympus 25mm f/1.8 lens.

As you can see, there is not a heck of a lot of difference between the two cameras size-wise and the Minolta isn't all that heavier than the E-M10. Perhaps, if I took a photo of the X-700 with my GM5, it would far more heavy and intimidating, as we have come to expect from out full-frame cameras. The sad part is, the E-M1, GH4, X-T1, the A7 series, and even the new GX8, are all a lot bigger than the X-700 and growing with every new release.
