Canon 1000D vs Leica M9-P

Below is a complete comparison of the Canon 1000D vs Leica M9-P, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies Canon and Leica. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the 1000D (10MP) and M9-P (18MP) and the 1000D (APS-C) and M9-P (Full frame) enjoy different sensor size.

The 1000D was announced 3 years prior to the M9-P and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 1000D being a Compact SLR camera and the Leica M9-P being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the 1000D matches up versus the M9-P in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 1000D and Leica M9-P. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 1000D Gallery and Leica M9-P Gallery.

For those who are intending to lug around your camera often, you'll need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Oftentimes, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through specifications. The visual here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 1000D and M9-P.

Plainly, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1000D having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Leica M9-P will give you greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older 1000D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
