Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon M10 and Olympus E-M1X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M10 has external dimensions of 108 x 67 x 35 mm (4.25 x 2.64 x 1.38″) and weighs 301 g (0.66 lb / 10.62 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-M1X has external dimensions of 144 x 147 x 75 mm (5.67 x 5.79 x 2.95″) and weighs 997 g (2.20 lb / 35.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M10 and the Olympus E-M1X. Canon M10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 36mm narrower, 80mm shorter and 40mm thinner than Olympus E-M1X.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M10 and Olympus E-M1X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M10 and Olympus E-M1X.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M10 is significantly lighter (696g ) than the Olympus E-M1X which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon M10 has an APS-C sized sensor and Olympus E-M1X has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Olympus E-M1X's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon M10 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the E-M1X, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the M10.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon M10 and Olympus E-M1X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Canon M10 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Olympus E-M1X sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
