Canon M6 MII vs Leica M11

In this article, we are reviewing the Canon M6 MII versus Leica M11, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by companies Canon and Leica. There is a large difference among the sensor resolutions of the M6 MII (33MP) and M11 (60MP) and the M6 MII (APS-C) and M11 (Full frame) feature totally different sensor sizing.

The M6 MII was brought out 3 years before the M11 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a brief summation of how the M6 MII grades vs the M11 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M6 Mark II & Leica M11. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon M6 MII Gallery & Leica M11 Gallery.

If you're intending to travel with your camera often, you'll have to factor its weight and volume. The Canon M6 MII comes with physical dimensions of 120mm x 70mm x 49mm (4.7" x 2.8" x 1.9") and a weight of 408 grams (0.90 lbs) while the Leica M11 has sizing of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Here is the front view overall size comparison of the M6 MII and the M11.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the M6 MII and M11 is 83 and 76 respectively.

Often, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through technical specs. The pic below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the M6 MII and M11.

As you have seen, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M6 MII because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Leica M11 will provide you with greater detail having its extra 27MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged M6 MII will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
