Fujifilm X-H2 vs Leica SL2

Following is a in-depth assessment of the Fujifilm X-H2 versus Leica SL2, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies FujiFilm and Leica. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm X-H2 (40MP) and the SL2 (47MP) is relatively close but the Fujifilm X-H2 (APS-C) and SL2 (Full frame) use totally different sensor sizing.

The Fujifilm X-H2 was manufactured 2 years after the SL2 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a brief view of how the Fujifilm X-H2 scores vs the SL2 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is the front view physical size comparison of the Fujifilm X-H2 versus the SL2.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm X-H2 and SL2 is 62 and 57 respectively.

Normally, it's hard to see the gap in sensor sizes just by researching technical specs. The image underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-H2 and SL2.

As you can tell, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-H2 because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Leica SL2 will render more detail due to its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-H2 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
