The sensor resolution of X-Pro1 is greater than that of OM-D E-M5 III. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.

At Olympus E-M5 III, the maximum ISO is greater by 19200. OM-D E-M5 III has image stabilization(5-axis Sensor-shift), X-Pro1 doesn’t, it is a big minus. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
