Casio EX-FS10 vs Leica M-E Typ 220

Let's look a bit more closely at the Casio EX-FS10 versus Leica M-E Typ 220, former being a Ultracompact while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals Casio and Leica. There exists a large gap between the sensor resolutions of the EX-FS10 (9MP) and M-E Typ 220 (18MP) and the EX-FS10 (1/2.3") and M-E Typ 220 (Full frame) posses different sensor sizes.

The EX-FS10 was announced 4 years prior to the M-E Typ 220 and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Casio EX-FS10 being a Ultracompact camera and the Leica M-E Typ 220 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a full comparison, here is a simple view of how the EX-FS10 matches up against the M-E Typ 220 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the EX-FS10 and M-E Typ 220 is 96 and 79 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The graphic underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FS10 and M-E Typ 220.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-FS10 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Leica M-E Typ 220 will offer extra detail with its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX-FS10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
