Canon RP vs Leica TL

Its time to take a closer look at the Canon RP and Leica TL, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by rivals Canon and Leica. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the RP (26MP) and TL (16MP) and the RP (Full frame) and TL (APS-C) posses totally different sensor sizing.

The RP was manufactured 2 years after the TL which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon RP being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Leica TL being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a complete comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the RP scores vs the TL when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS RP and Leica TL. The entire galleries are provided at Canon RP Gallery and Leica TL Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry around your camera frequently, you'll need to factor in its weight and proportions. The Canon RP offers exterior measurements of 133mm x 85mm x 70mm (5.2" x 3.3" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 485 grams (1.07 lbs) while the Leica TL has measurements of 134mm x 69mm x 33mm (5.3" x 2.7" x 1.3") and a weight of 384 grams (0.85 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are working with at that moment. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the RP against the TL.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the RP and TL is 70 and 85 respectively.

Generally, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The pic below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the RP and TL.

As you can tell, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The RP featuring a larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Canon RP will give you greater detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent RP is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
