Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Leica M9-P Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over specifications. The photograph here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and M9-P.

To sum up, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will deliver greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-Pro3 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
