The Fujifilm X-E2S was unveiled 4 years later than the M9-P and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the Fujifilm X-E2S scores against the M9-P for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X-E2S & Leica M9-P. The full galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-E2S Gallery & Leica M9-P Gallery.

Normally, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements simply by seeing specs. The photograph underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-E2S and M9-P.

All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E2S having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh harder and the Leica M9-P will produce more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-E2S provides an edge in sensor tech.
