Canon R6 vs Leica M11 Monochrome

Below is a extended overview of the Canon R6 and Leica M11 Monochrome, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by rivals Canon and Leica. There exists a substantial gap among the resolutions of the R6 (20MP) and M11 Monochrome (60MP) but they come with the exact same sensor measurements (Full frame).

The R6 was introduced 3 years before the M11 Monochrome and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon R6 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Leica M11 Monochrome being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a simple view of how the R6 scores versus the M11 Monochrome when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you use at that moment. Following is the front view measurement comparison of the R6 and the M11 Monochrome.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the R6 and M11 Monochrome is 61 and 76 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing specs. The visual here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the R6 and M11 Monochrome.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Leica M11 Monochrome to result in greater detail using its extra 40MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older R6 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
