Fujifilm X-H2S vs Leica SL Overview

Its time to look more in depth at the Fujifilm X-H2S and Leica SL, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. The resolution of the Fujifilm X-H2S (26MP) and the SL (24MP) is very close but the Fujifilm X-H2S (APS-C) and SL (Full frame) boast totally different sensor dimensions.

The Fujifilm X-H2S was revealed 6 years later than the SL and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short introduction of how the Fujifilm X-H2S scores versus the SL in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Fujifilm X-H2S vs Leica SL Physical Comparison

					

					

						
For anyone who is intending to carry your camera regularly, you should consider its weight and measurements. The Fujifilm X-H2S offers physical measurements of 136mm x 93mm x 95mm (5.4" x 3.7" x 3.7") and a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) and the Leica SL has proportions of 147mm x 104mm x 39mm (5.8" x 4.1" x 1.5") along with a weight of 847 grams (1.87 lbs).

Fujifilm X-H2S vs Leica SL Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching specs. The photograph here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2S and SL.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-H2S having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X-H2S will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
