The M10 was unveiled 24 months earlier than the E-M1X making them a generation apart from one another. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Leica M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus E-M1X being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief view of how the M10 grades vs the E-M1X with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M10 and Olympus OM-D E-M1X. The full galleries are viewable at Leica M10 Gallery and Olympus E-M1X Gallery.

Quite often, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by looking through specs. The visual below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and E-M1X.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M10 having a larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Leica M10 will provide you with extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older M10 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
