Olympus OM-D E-M1X with Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 Overview


Let's compare Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 with Olympus OM-D E-M1X. 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 Lumix DC-S1 is greater than that of OM-D E-M1X. 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 the second 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 Panasonic S1, the maximum ISO is greater by 25600. Both cameras have 5-axis Sensor-shift image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch tilting screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. Viewfinder Lumix DC-S1 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. Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 has 60.0 fps continuous shooting. Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 has 60.0 fps continuous shooting.
