Fujifilm X-Pro2 vs Leica M9-P

Here, we are analyzing the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Leica M9-P, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. There is a sizable difference between the resolutions of the Fujifilm X-Pro2 (24MP) and M9-P (18MP) and the Fujifilm X-Pro2 (APS-C) and M9-P (Full frame) have totally different sensor sizing.

The Fujifilm X-Pro2 was introduced 4 years later than the M9-P and that is quite a significant difference as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a full comparison, here is a quick overview of how the Fujifilm X-Pro2 matches up vs the M9-P when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X-Pro2 & Leica M9-P. The whole galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-Pro2 Gallery & Leica M9-P Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and size.

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and M9-P.

As you can see, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-Pro2 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will give more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-Pro2 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
