Fujifilm X-E3 vs Leica M11

Here is a in depth review of the Fujifilm X-E3 and Leica M11, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. There is a noticeable difference among the image resolutions of the Fujifilm X-E3 (24MP) and M11 (60MP) and the Fujifilm X-E3 (APS-C) and M11 (Full frame) enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm X-E3 was unveiled 5 years before the M11 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a brief summation of how the Fujifilm X-E3 scores versus the M11 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm X-E3 & Leica M11. The full galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-E3 Gallery & Leica M11 Gallery.

If you're going to carry your camera often, you'll need to think about its weight and dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E3 features exterior dimensions of 121mm x 74mm x 43mm (4.8" x 2.9" x 1.7") along with a weight of 337 grams (0.74 lbs) whilst the Leica M11 has dimensions of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") along with a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you select at the time. Following is the front view scale comparison of the Fujifilm X-E3 against the M11.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm X-E3 and M11 is 85 and 76 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing only by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E3 and M11.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E3 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Leica M11 will result in extra detail having an extra 36MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E3 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
