The E-M1X was manufactured 4 years earlier than the A7R V which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a detailed comparison, here is a short highlight of how the E-M1X scores versus the A7R V in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus OM-D E-M1X and Sony Alpha A7R V. The entire galleries are available at Olympus E-M1X Gallery and Sony A7R V Gallery.

Oftentimes, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The pic here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1X and A7R V.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1X featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7R V will give you greater detail due to its extra 41MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-M1X is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
