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 Olympus E-M10 and Olympus E-M1X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus E-M10 has external dimensions of 119 x 82 x 46 mm (4.69 x 3.24 x 1.81″) and weighs 396 g (0.87 lb / 13.97 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 Olympus E-M10 and the Olympus E-M1X. Olympus E-M10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 25mm narrower, 65mm shorter and 29mm thinner than Olympus E-M1X.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus E-M10 and Olympus E-M1X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus E-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.
Olympus E-M10 is significantly lighter (601g ) 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 both Olympus E-M10 and Olympus E-M1X have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and Four Thirds sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
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 E-M10.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-M10 and Olympus E-M1X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Olympus E-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.
