The Fujifilm X-E1 was launched 4 years earlier than the M10 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the Fujifilm X-E1 matches up against the M10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X-E1 and Leica M10. The complete galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-E1 Gallery and Leica M10 Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera frequently, you have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilising at the time. The following is the front view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-E1 against the M10.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm X-E1 and M10 is 85 and 75 respectively.

Normally, it is difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements simply by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E1 and M10.

As you can see, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E1 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Leica M10 will produce greater detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
