Fujifilm X-E2 vs Leica M9-P

Lets look a little more in depth at the Fujifilm X-E2 versus Leica M9-P, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals FujiFilm and Leica. The resolution of the Fujifilm X-E2 (16MP) and the M9-P (18MP) is very close but the Fujifilm X-E2 (APS-C) and M9-P (Full frame) enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The Fujifilm X-E2 was revealed 2 years after the M9-P which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go through a more detailed comparison, below is a short summary of how the Fujifilm X-E2 matches up vs the M9-P in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X-E2 and Leica M9-P. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm X-E2 Gallery and Leica M9-P Gallery.

Normally, it is very hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes only by looking through specs. The pic underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E2 and M9-P.

All in all, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E2 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Leica M9-P will result in greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E2 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
