Canon SX710 HS vs Leica M Typ 262

Here is a extended overview of the Canon SX710 HS versus Leica M Typ 262, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Leica. The image resolution of the SX710 HS (20MP) and the M Typ 262 (24MP) is relatively comparable but the SX710 HS (1/2.3") and M Typ 262 (Full frame) offer totally different sensor measurements.

The SX710 HS was revealed 10 months before the M Typ 262 which means that they are both of a similar generation. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX710 HS being a Compact camera and the Leica M Typ 262 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the SX710 HS scores versus the M Typ 262 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are using during that time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the SX710 HS versus the M Typ 262.

Looking at size and weight, the portability grade of the SX710 HS and M Typ 262 is 89 and 77 respectively.

Usually, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing just by checking out specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX710 HS and M Typ 262.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX710 HS using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Leica M Typ 262 will produce more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older SX710 HS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
