Canon M6 vs Leica M-Monochrom

Its time to look more closely at the Canon M6 versus Leica M-Monochrom, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Leica. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the M6 (24MP) and M-Monochrom (18MP) and the M6 (APS-C) and M-Monochrom (Full frame) posses totally different sensor sizes.

The M6 was released 4 years later than the M-Monochrom and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight to a thorough comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the M6 grades versus the M-Monochrom when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M6 & Leica M-Monochrom. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon M6 Gallery & Leica M-Monochrom Gallery.

In case you're planning to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to take into account its weight and size.

Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M6 and M-Monochrom.

Clearly, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M6 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Canon M6 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer M6 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
