Fujifilm X-H1 vs Leica M-Monochrom

Following is a in depth review of the Fujifilm X-H1 versus Leica M-Monochrom, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. There is a huge difference between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-H1 (24MP) and M-Monochrom (18MP) and the Fujifilm X-H1 (APS-C) and M-Monochrom (Full frame) have totally different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm X-H1 was released 5 years after the M-Monochrom which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm X-H1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Leica M-Monochrom being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple summation of how the Fujifilm X-H1 grades versus the M-Monochrom with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X-H1 and Leica M-Monochrom. The complete galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X-H1 Gallery and Leica M-Monochrom Gallery.

When you are going to carry around your camera, you will want to factor in its weight and volume.

Often, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The picture here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-H1 and M-Monochrom.

To sum up, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-H1 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Fujifilm X-H1 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H1 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
