Fujifilm S4500 vs Leica M9-P

Lets examine more in depth at the Fujifilm S4500 versus Leica M9-P, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by manufacturers FujiFilm and Leica. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm S4500 (14MP) and M9-P (18MP) and the Fujifilm S4500 (1/2.3") and M9-P (Full frame) use different sensor sizing.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are employing at that moment. Following is the front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm S4500 and the M9-P.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm S4500 and M9-P is 67 and 78 respectively.

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizing just by going through specs. The photograph below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S4500 and M9-P.

All in all, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S4500 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Leica M9-P will show more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm S4500 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
