Fujifilm A100 vs Leica CL

On this page, we will be looking at the Fujifilm A100 and Leica CL, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands FujiFilm and Leica. There exists a big gap among the image resolutions of the Fujifilm A100 (10MP) and CL (24MP) and the Fujifilm A100 (1/2.3") and CL (APS-C) posses totally different sensor size.

The Fujifilm A100 was brought out 9 years before the CL and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Fujifilm A100 being a Compact camera and the Leica CL being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a short introduction of how the Fujifilm A100 scores against the CL with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you select at that time. Underneath is a front view measurement comparison of the Fujifilm A100 compared to the CL.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm A100 and CL is 95 and 82 respectively.

Normally, it is difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm A100 and CL.

As you can see, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm A100 due to its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh more challenging and the Leica CL will result in more detail having its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
