Leica Q-P vs Olympus E-M1X

On this page, we will be evaluating the Leica Q-P vs Olympus E-M1X, former being a Large Sensor Compact while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies Leica and Olympus. The resolution of the Q-P (24MP) and the E-M1X (20MP) is pretty well matched but the Q-P (Full frame) and E-M1X (Four Thirds) have different sensor dimensions.

The Q-P was unveiled 2 months before the E-M1X so they are both of a similar age. Both cameras have different body design with the Leica Q-P being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Olympus E-M1X being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the Q-P grades vs the E-M1X with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica Q-P & Olympus OM-D E-M1X. The full galleries are available at Leica Q-P Gallery & Olympus E-M1X Gallery.

When you are intending to carry your camera, you are going to need to factor in its weight and proportions. The Leica Q-P has got exterior measurements of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") having a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) whilst the Olympus E-M1X has measurements of 144mm x 147mm x 75mm (5.7" x 5.8" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 997 grams (2.20 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are utilizing during that time. Underneath is a front view over all size comparison of the Q-P and the E-M1X.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the Q-P and E-M1X is 63 and 54 respectively.

Often, its hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing simply by looking at specifications. The graphic underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Q-P and E-M1X.

Plainly, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Q-P having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Leica Q-P will resolve greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures more aggressively.
