The 750D was introduced 5 years prior to the E-M1X and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon 750D being a Compact SLR camera and the Olympus E-M1X being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the 750D grades versus the E-M1X in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 750d & Olympus OM-D E-M1X. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 750D Gallery & Olympus E-M1X Gallery.

More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizing just by going through specs. The photograph here may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 750D and E-M1X.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 750D having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon 750D will show more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The older 750D will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
