The Fujifilm X-E2S was announced 3 years after the M-Monochrom which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a complete comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the Fujifilm X-E2S scores vs the M-Monochrom in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X-E2S and Leica M-Monochrom. The whole galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-E2S Gallery and Leica M-Monochrom Gallery.

Oftentimes, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading technical specs. The pic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E2S and M-Monochrom.

As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E2S with its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Leica M-Monochrom will offer greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-E2S will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
