Fujifilm X100S vs Leica X-U

Below, we are matching up the Fujifilm X100S and Leica X-U, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Leica. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X100S (16MP) and the X-U (16MP) is very well matched and they use the exact same sensor measurements (APS-C).

Photography Glossary

The Fujifilm X100S was introduced 3 years earlier than the X-U and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the Fujifilm X100S scores vs the X-U for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X100S and Leica X-U. The whole galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X100S Gallery and Leica X-U Gallery.

When you are planning to lug around your camera, you'll have to consider its weight and volume. The Fujifilm X100S features outside dimensions of 127mm x 74mm x 54mm (5.0" x 2.9" x 2.1") having a weight of 445 grams (0.98 lbs) while the Leica X-U has sizing of 140mm x 79mm x 88mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 3.5") having a weight of 635 grams (1.40 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Underneath is the front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm X100S compared to the X-U.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm X100S and X-U is 80 and 64 respectively.

Often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by looking at specs. The graphic here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X100S and X-U.

All in all, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the exact same megapixels therefore you should expect similar quality of images but you need to take the production date of the products into consideration. The older Fujifilm X100S is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
