Olympus E-M1X vs Sony A7S II

Let's look more in depth at the Olympus E-M1X and Sony A7S II, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by companies Olympus and Sony. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the E-M1X (20MP) and A7S II (12MP) and the E-M1X (Four Thirds) and A7S II (Full frame) provide different sensor measurements.

The E-M1X was announced 3 years after the A7S II which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the E-M1X matches up vs the A7S II in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus OM-D E-M1X and Sony Alpha A7S II. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus E-M1X Gallery and Sony A7S II Gallery.

When you are looking to travel with your camera often, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Olympus E-M1X has got outside measurements of 144mm x 147mm x 75mm (5.7" x 5.8" x 3.0") and a weight of 997 grams (2.20 lbs) and the Sony A7S II has dimensions of 127mm x 96mm x 60mm (5.0" x 3.8" x 2.4") with a weight of 627 grams (1.38 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you choose at the time. Here is a front view scale comparison of the E-M1X versus the A7S II.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the E-M1X and A7S II is 54 and 68 respectively.

More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions only by checking out specs. The pic underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1X and A7S II.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1X with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Olympus E-M1X will provide greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher E-M1X should have a benefit in sensor technology.
