Leica X-U vs Olympus E-410

Here, we will be looking at the Leica X-U versus Olympus E-410, former being a Large Sensor Compact while the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR by brands Leica and Olympus. There is a large difference between the resolutions of the X-U (16MP) and E-410 (10MP) and the X-U (APS-C) and E-410 (Four Thirds) provide different sensor measurements.

The X-U was launched 8 years later than the E-410 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Leica X-U being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Olympus E-410 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before going right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the X-U scores versus the E-410 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica X-U & Olympus E-410. The complete galleries are available at Leica X-U Gallery & Olympus E-410 Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera regularly, you will have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Leica X-U has got external measurements of 140mm x 79mm x 88mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 3.5") with a weight of 635 grams (1.40 lbs) whilst the Olympus E-410 has dimensions of 130mm x 91mm x 53mm (5.1" x 3.6" x 2.1") with a weight of 435 grams (0.96 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you use during that time. The following is a front view proportions comparison of the X-U against the E-410.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the X-U and E-410 is 64 and 77 respectively.

Generally, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through technical specs. The photograph here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the X-U and E-410.

As you can tell, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X-U because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Leica X-U will give greater detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger X-U provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
