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 Leica M Edition 60 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). Leica M Edition 60 has external dimensions of 139 x 80 x 42 mm (5.47 x 3.15 x 1.65″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus E-M1X and the Leica M Edition 60. Leica M Edition 60 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 67mm shorter and 33mm thinner than Olympus E-M1X.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus E-M1X and Leica M Edition 60.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus E-M1X and Leica M Edition 60.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica M Edition 60 is significantly lighter (317g ) 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 Leica M Edition 60 has a Full frame 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 Leica M Edition 60 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Both the E-M1X and the M Edition 60 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-M1X and Leica M Edition 60's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus E-M1X sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Leica M Edition 60's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to E-M1X.
