Olympus E-M1X vs Olympus SP-810 UZ

Let's look a little more closely at the Olympus E-M1X versus Olympus SP-810 UZ, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are manufactured by Olympus. There exists a substantial gap between the resolutions of the E-M1X (20MP) and SP-810 UZ (14MP) and the E-M1X (Four Thirds) and SP-810 UZ (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor measurements.

The E-M1X was released 7 years later than the SP-810 UZ and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-M1X being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus SP-810 UZ being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the E-M1X matches up vs the SP-810 UZ in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus OM-D E-M1X & Olympus SP-810 UZ. The complete galleries are available at Olympus E-M1X Gallery & Olympus SP-810 UZ Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry your camera often, you'll have to think about its weight and measurements.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen during that time. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the E-M1X against the SP-810 UZ.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the E-M1X and SP-810 UZ is 54 and 78 respectively.

Quite often, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by looking at specifications. The graphic here will provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M1X and SP-810 UZ.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-M1X featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M1X will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images more aggressively. The fresher E-M1X will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
