      Photography Features

      Fujifilm X-T200 can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution. OM System OM-5 is equipped with TruePic IX processor and can take pictures up to 5184 x 3888 resolution.


      Lens Mount

      Fujifilm X-T200 has Fujifilm X lens mount and OM System OM-5 has Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Due to APS-C sensor in Fujifilm X-T200 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 OM System OM-5 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.


      In-Body Image Stabilization on OM System OM-5

      OM System OM-5 has a built-in 5-Axis Sensor Shift in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with 7.5 stops of compensation. This means that you are still getting vibration reduction when camera is paired with non-image stabilizied lenses. It also works with lenses with optical image stabilization and in combination can achieve even better compensation.
