The E-PL8 was announced 2 years later than the QX1 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-PL8 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony QX1 being a Lens-style camera.

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the E-PL8 grades versus the QX1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.
