Fujifilm X-E1 vs Leica M11 Monochrome

Here, we are looking at the Fujifilm X-E1 versus Leica M11 Monochrome, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by manufacturers FujiFilm and Leica. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-E1 (16MP) and M11 Monochrome (60MP) and the Fujifilm X-E1 (APS-C) and M11 Monochrome (Full frame) have totally different sensor measurements.

Sometimes, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E1 and M11 Monochrome.

As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E1 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Leica M11 Monochrome will produce extra detail due to its extra 44 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E1 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
