Canon M100 vs Leica M11 Monochrome

Here, we will be analyzing the Canon M100 vs Leica M11 Monochrome, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Leica. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the M100 (24MP) and M11 Monochrome (60MP) and the M100 (APS-C) and M11 Monochrome (Full frame) posses different sensor sizes.

The M100 was brought out 6 years prior to the M11 Monochrome and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the M100 grades versus the M11 Monochrome with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M100 and Leica M11 Monochrome. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon M100 Gallery and Leica M11 Monochrome Gallery.

For those who are going to carry your camera, you'll need to take into account its weight and measurements.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you select at that time. Here is a front view over all size comparison of the M100 compared to the M11 Monochrome.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M100 and M11 Monochrome is 88 and 76 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading specs. The visual below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M100 and M11 Monochrome.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M100 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Leica M11 Monochrome will offer you extra detail having its extra 36 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older M100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
