Nikon Z fc vs OM System OM-5
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Resolution (MP): the Zfc leads at 20.9 million (effective) vs the OM-5's 20.4 Megapixels (effective); 21.8 Megapixels (full).
- EVF resolution: the Zfc leads at Approx. 2360k-dot (XGA) OLED vs the OM-5's 2.360K dots.
- Burst — mechanical: the OM-5 leads at Approx. 10fps (H); 6fps (L) vs the Zfc's Approx. 5 fps (Continuous H); approx. 11 fps (Continuous H extended).

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
