Leica M11 vs Olympus E-M1X

Lets look a bit more closely at the Leica M11 versus Olympus E-M1X, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Leica and Olympus. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the M11 (60MP) and E-M1X (20MP) and the M11 (Full frame) and E-M1X (Four Thirds) use totally different sensor size.

The M11 was released 3 years after the E-M1X which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Leica M11 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus E-M1X being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the M11 matches up vs the E-M1X in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Leica M11 and Olympus OM-D E-M1X. The complete galleries are available at Leica M11 Gallery and Olympus E-M1X Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and volume. The Leica M11 provides outside dimensions of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") and a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) while the Olympus E-M1X has sizing of 144mm x 147mm x 75mm (5.7" x 5.8" x 3.0") along with a weight of 997 grams (2.20 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with during that time. Underneath is the front view size comparison of the M11 versus the E-M1X.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M11 and E-M1X is 76 and 54 respectively.

Sometimes, its hard to envision the difference between sensor sizes purely by checking specifications. The image below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the M11 and E-M1X.

To sum up, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M11 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Leica M11 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 40 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent M11 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
