Here is a extensive analysis of the Canon M6 MII and Leica M-E Typ 220, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by brands Canon and Leica. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the M6 MII (33MP) and M-E Typ 220 (18MP) and the M6 MII (APS-C) and M-E Typ 220 (Full frame) use different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The M6 MII was launched 7 years later than the M-E Typ 220 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight into a complete comparison, below is a brief summation of how the M6 MII grades versus the M-E Typ 220 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you use during that time. The following is the front view over all size comparison of the M6 MII against the M-E Typ 220.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M6 MII and M-E Typ 220 is 83 and 79 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M6 MII and M-E Typ 220.

Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M6 MII due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon M6 MII will provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern M6 MII should have a benefit in sensor tech.
