Kodak S-1 vs Leica M11

Let's take a closer look at the Kodak S-1 versus Leica M11, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals Kodak and Leica. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the S-1 (16MP) and M11 (60MP) and the S-1 (Four Thirds) and M11 (Full frame) boast different sensor sizing.

The S-1 was announced 8 years before the M11 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the S-1 matches up against the M11 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Leica M11. The whole galleries are provided at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Leica M11 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to travel with your camera, you will need to think about its weight and measurements. The Kodak S-1 enjoys physical dimensions of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") having a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) while the Leica M11 has proportions of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have at that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the S-1 compared to the M11.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S-1 and M11 is 88 and 76 respectively.

Normally, it can be hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading technical specs. The pic here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S-1 and M11.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S-1 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Leica M11 will deliver more detail with its extra 44 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged S-1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
