Canon R vs Leica M11 Monochrome

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon R and Leica M11 Monochrome, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Canon and Leica. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the R (30MP) and M11 Monochrome (60MP) but both cameras posses the same sensor dimensions (Full frame).

The R was announced 5 years earlier than the M11 Monochrome which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Canon R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Leica M11 Monochrome being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick summation of how the R matches up vs the M11 Monochrome in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R and Leica M11 Monochrome. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon R Gallery and Leica M11 Monochrome Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera often, you will need to factor its weight and measurements. The Canon R features outer measurements of 136mm x 98mm x 84mm (5.4" x 3.9" x 3.3") having a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) and the Leica M11 Monochrome has proportions of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") along with a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are using at that time. Here is a front view sizing comparison of the R vs the M11 Monochrome.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the R and M11 Monochrome is 62 and 76 respectively.

Often, it is hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions just by seeing a spec sheet. The pic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the R and M11 Monochrome.

As you can see, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You should expect to see the Leica M11 Monochrome to produce greater detail with its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged R will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
