Fujifilm X-T10 vs Leica SL2

Lets look much closer at the Fujifilm X-T10 versus Leica SL2, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals FujiFilm and Leica. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-T10 (16MP) and SL2 (47MP) and the Fujifilm X-T10 (APS-C) and SL2 (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The Fujifilm X-T10 was revealed 5 years earlier than the SL2 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the Fujifilm X-T10 scores versus the SL2 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X-T10 and Leica SL2. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm X-T10 Gallery and Leica SL2 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to carry your camera regularly, you will want to factor in its weight and proportions. The Fujifilm X-T10 has physical measurements of 118mm x 83mm x 41mm (4.6" x 3.3" x 1.6") along with a weight of 381 grams (0.84 lbs) while the Leica SL2 has measurements of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") with a weight of 835 grams (1.84 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have chosen at that time. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm X-T10 against the SL2.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X-T10 and SL2 is 83 and 57 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing just by looking through specifications. The visual below will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T10 and SL2.

Plainly, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T10 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Leica SL2 will result in extra detail because of its extra 31MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-T10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
