      Lens Mount

      Fujifilm X-T1 IR has Fujifilm X lens mount and Olympus E-450 has Four Thirds lens mount. Due to APS-C sensor in Fujifilm X-T1 IR its crop factor is equal to 1.5x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 1.5. Due to Micro Four Thirds sensor in Olympus E-450 its crop factor is equal to 2x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 2.


      No Low-Pass Filter on Fujifilm X-T1 IR

      There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor on Fujifilm X-T1 IR. This results in a slightly sharper image but may also introduce moiré patterns and aliasing artifacts when photographing subjects with fine, repetitive patterns or details.


      No Image Stabilization

      The cameras do not have image stabilization. On Fujifilm X-T1 IR it means that you need lenses with optical image stabilization for vibration reduction. As for Olympus E-450 nothing can be done. On Olympus E-450 it means that you need lenses with optical image stabilization for vibration reduction. As for Fujifilm X-T1 IR nothing can be done.
