Fujifilm X-S20 vs Leica SL2 Overview

The following is a complete assessment of the Fujifilm X-S20 and Leica SL2, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. There is a significant difference among the resolutions of the X-S20 (26MP) and SL2 (47MP) and the X-S20 (APS-C) and SL2 (Full frame) provide different sensor measurements.

Sora from OpenAI releases its first ever music video

The X-S20 was released 3 years after the SL2 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a complete comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the X-S20 scores against the SL2 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Fujifilm X-S20 vs Leica SL2 Physical Comparison

		

		

			
If you're going to travel with your camera regularly, you will need to take into account its weight and volume. The Fujifilm X-S20 has physical dimensions of 127mm x 85mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.3" x 2.6") and a weight of 491 grams (1.08 lbs) whilst the Leica SL2 has sizing of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") accompanied by a weight of 835 grams (1.84 lbs).

Fujifilm X-S20 vs Leica SL2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching technical specs. The image here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and SL2.
As you can tell, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Leica SL2 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 21MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures more aggressively. The younger X-S20 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
