Fujifilm S8200 vs Leica M-Monochrom

Below, we will be evaluating the Fujifilm S8200 versus Leica M-Monochrom, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm S8200 (16MP) and the M-Monochrom (18MP) is pretty well matched but the Fujifilm S8200 (1/2.3") and M-Monochrom (Full frame) possess totally different sensor dimensions.

Quite often, its difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The visual below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S8200 and M-Monochrom.

To sum up, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S8200 using its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh tougher and the Leica M-Monochrom will give greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm S8200 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
