Fujifilm X-M1 vs Leica M11 Monochrome

Below is a thorough overview of the Fujifilm X-M1 vs Leica M11 Monochrome, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by brands FujiFilm and Leica. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-M1 (16MP) and M11 Monochrome (60MP) and the Fujifilm X-M1 (APS-C) and M11 Monochrome (Full frame) posses totally different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm X-M1 was manufactured 10 years earlier than the M11 Monochrome and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short overview of how the Fujifilm X-M1 matches up against the M11 Monochrome with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm X-M1 and Leica M11 Monochrome. The entire galleries are available at Fujifilm X-M1 Gallery and Leica M11 Monochrome Gallery.

Often, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over specifications. The visual below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-M1 and M11 Monochrome.

Plainly, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-M1 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Leica M11 Monochrome will deliver more detail due to its extra 44 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-M1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
