Olympus E-M1X vs Sony RX10 III

Let's look more closely at the Olympus E-M1X versus Sony RX10 III, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom by companies Olympus and Sony. The resolution of the E-M1X (20MP) and the RX10 III (20MP) is fairly comparable but the E-M1X (Four Thirds) and RX10 III (1") boast totally different sensor sizes.

The E-M1X was brought out 2 years after the RX10 III which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-M1X being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 III being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving straight to a complete comparison, here is a brief summation of how the E-M1X grades versus the RX10 III with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Often, its hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The pic underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1X and RX10 III.

To sum up, the two cameras provide the same MP but not the same sensor dimensions. The E-M1X uses the larger sensor which will make getting shallower depth of field simpler. The newer E-M1X is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
