Olympus E-M1 vs Olympus E-M1X

Here, we will be analyzing the Olympus E-M1 and Olympus E-M1X, both Pro Mirrorless cameras and both of them are built by Olympus. The image resolution of the E-M1 (16MP) and the E-M1X (20MP) is relatively comparable and both cameras boast the identical sensor size (Four Thirds).

The E-M1 was announced 6 years prior to the E-M1X which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a short view of how the E-M1 scores vs the E-M1X with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus OM-D E-M1 and Olympus OM-D E-M1X. The whole galleries are available at Olympus E-M1 Gallery and Olympus E-M1X Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry around your camera often, you have to think about its weight and measurements. The Olympus E-M1 comes with exterior measurements of 130mm x 94mm x 63mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 2.5") having a weight of 497 grams (1.10 lbs) and the Olympus E-M1X has proportions of 144mm x 147mm x 75mm (5.7" x 5.8" x 3.0") having a weight of 997 grams (2.20 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have during that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the E-M1 versus the E-M1X.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the E-M1 and E-M1X is 71 and 54 respectively.

Often, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by seeing a spec sheet. The picture underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M1 and E-M1X.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Olympus E-M1X to produce extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-M1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
