Canon A2200 vs Leica T Type 701

Following is a thorough assessment of the Canon A2200 vs Leica T Type 701, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Leica. The sensor resolution of the A2200 (14MP) and the T Type 701 (16MP) is pretty well matched but the A2200 (1/2.3") and T Type 701 (APS-C) use totally different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The A2200 was announced 4 years earlier than the T Type 701 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon A2200 being a Compact camera and the Leica T Type 701 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a thorough comparison, below is a concise summation of how the A2200 matches up vs the T Type 701 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Below is the front view dimensions comparison of the A2200 against the T Type 701.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the A2200 and T Type 701 is 95 and 85 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by looking at specs. The image underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the A2200 and T Type 701.

All in all, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The A2200 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Leica T Type 701 will give more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged A2200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
