Leica SL2 with Olympus OM-D E-M1X Overview


Let's compare Olympus OM-D E-M1X with Leica SL2. These models are included in the Pro Mirrorless cameras. Both of these models were released in 2019. This means that differences will go a long way. Let's take a closer look.
The sensor resolution of SL2 is greater than that of OM-D E-M1X. The difference of 27 MP is quite a lot. 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 the first camera (OM-D E-M1X), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Leica SL2, the maximum ISO is greater by 24400. Both cameras have 5-axis Sensor-shift image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch articulated screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. Viewfinder SL2 has a higher resolution of 5760k dots, OM-D E-M1X has a resolution of 2360k dots. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Olympus OM-D E-M1X has 20.0 fps continuous shooting. Olympus OM-D E-M1X has 20.0 fps continuous shooting.
