Canon M vs Leica TL

Here, we will be comparing the Canon M and Leica TL, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Leica. The image resolution of the M (18MP) and the TL (16MP) is relatively well matched and both cameras offer the identical sensor measurements (APS-C).

The M was introduced 5 years earlier than the TL which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise view of how the M scores vs the TL with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

For anybody who is aiming to travel with your camera frequently, you'll need to factor its weight and size.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you select at the time. Here is a front view measurements comparison of the M against the TL.

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M and TL.

As you can see, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon M to give more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
