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-M1X and Canon G1 X III side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Canon G1 X III has external dimensions of 115 x 78 x 51 mm (4.53 x 3.07 x 2.01″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus E-M1X and the Canon G1 X III. Canon G1 X III is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 29mm narrower, 69mm shorter and 24mm thinner than Olympus E-M1X. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G1 X III has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M1X doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M1X, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus E-M1X and Canon G1 X III.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus E-M1X and Canon G1 X III.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G1 X III is significantly lighter (598g ) than the Olympus E-M1X which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-M1X, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Both the E-M1X and the G1 X III have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-M1X and Canon G1 X III's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
