Canon M3 vs Leica M Typ 240

In this write-up, we will be evaluating the Canon M3 and Leica M Typ 240, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Leica. The sensor resolution of the M3 (24MP) and the M Typ 240 (24MP) is relatively well matched but the M3 (APS-C) and M Typ 240 (Full frame) use totally different sensor sizing.

The M3 was launched 2 years later than the M Typ 240 and that is quite a sizable difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the M3 grades against the M Typ 240 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M3 & Leica M Typ 240. The complete galleries are available at Canon M3 Gallery & Leica M Typ 240 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry your camera often, you will have to factor its weight and volume.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Underneath is the front view physical size comparison of the M3 vs the M Typ 240.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the M3 and M Typ 240 is 85 and 74 respectively.

In many cases, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The visual below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the M3 and M Typ 240.

To sum up, both of these cameras offer the same exact resolution albeit not the same sensor sizing. The M3 contains the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult. The more recent M3 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
