Olympus E-M1X vs Panasonic LX10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M1X and LX10.
As you can see, both the cameras have got the exact same MP but not the same sensor sizes. The E-M1X includes the larger sensor which should make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult. The more modern E-M1X is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
