Fujifilm X-E2S vs Leica M10

Its time to look more closely at the Fujifilm X-E2S versus Leica M10, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. There is a noticeable difference between the resolutions of the Fujifilm X-E2S (16MP) and M10 (24MP) and the Fujifilm X-E2S (APS-C) and M10 (Full frame) offer totally different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The Fujifilm X-E2S was released 12 months earlier than the M10 and they are both of a similar age. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the Fujifilm X-E2S scores vs the M10 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X-E2S & Leica M10. The complete galleries are available at Fujifilm X-E2S Gallery & Leica M10 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you will have to think about its weight and measurements.

Generally, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The graphic below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E2S and M10.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E2S because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Leica M10 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E2S is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
