Leica M9-P vs Olympus E-M1X

The following is a detailed comparison of the Leica M9-P versus Olympus E-M1X, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by companies Leica and Olympus. The resolution of the M9-P (18MP) and the E-M1X (20MP) is relatively comparable but the M9-P (Full frame) and E-M1X (Four Thirds) possess different sensor sizing.

The M9-P was revealed 8 years earlier than the E-M1X which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Leica M9-P being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus E-M1X being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise summation of how the M9-P grades versus the E-M1X in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M9-P and Olympus OM-D E-M1X. The full galleries are available at Leica M9-P Gallery and Olympus E-M1X Gallery.

For those who are intending to travel with your camera, you'll have to factor in its weight and volume. The Leica M9-P features outer measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) while the Olympus E-M1X has sizing of 144mm x 147mm x 75mm (5.7" x 5.8" x 3.0") with a weight of 997 grams (2.20 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have during that time. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the M9-P versus the E-M1X.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M9-P and E-M1X is 78 and 54 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through specs. The pic here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M9-P and E-M1X.

All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M9-P with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Olympus E-M1X will provide more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M9-P will be behind in sensor technology.
