Canon M6 MII vs Leica M-Monochrom

Below is a thorough review of the Canon M6 MII versus Leica M-Monochrom, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Leica. There is a large difference between the resolutions of the M6 MII (33MP) and M-Monochrom (18MP) and the M6 MII (APS-C) and M-Monochrom (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The M6 MII was introduced 7 years later than the M-Monochrom and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a detailed comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the M6 MII scores versus the M-Monochrom for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M6 Mark II & Leica M-Monochrom. The whole galleries are provided at Canon M6 MII Gallery & Leica M-Monochrom Gallery.

In case you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you will want to take into account its weight and proportions.

Remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you use at the time. Following is a front view size comparison of the M6 MII compared to the M-Monochrom.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the M6 MII and M-Monochrom is 83 and 78 respectively.

Usually, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 MII and M-Monochrom.

Clearly, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M6 MII using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon M6 MII will resolve extra detail using its extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The more recent M6 MII is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
