Olympus E-M1X vs Samsung WB2200F

Its time to look a bit more in depth at the Olympus E-M1X vs Samsung WB2200F, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Olympus and Samsung. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the E-M1X (20MP) and WB2200F (16MP) and the E-M1X (Four Thirds) and WB2200F (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor size.

The E-M1X was released 5 years later than the WB2200F and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-M1X being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung WB2200F being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the E-M1X grades versus the WB2200F with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus OM-D E-M1X and Samsung WB2200F. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus E-M1X Gallery and Samsung WB2200F Gallery.

In case you're going to lug around your camera frequently, you are going to need to take into account its weight and measurements.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. Following is the front view measurement comparison of the E-M1X versus the WB2200F.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the E-M1X and WB2200F is 54 and 59 respectively.

Normally, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by going through specs. The graphic here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M1X and WB2200F.

All in all, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-M1X because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Olympus E-M1X will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The younger E-M1X will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
