Leica M-E Typ 220 vs Leica M Typ 262

Here, we are looking at the Leica M-E Typ 220 versus Leica M Typ 262, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras and both are manufactured by Leica. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the M-E Typ 220 (18MP) and M Typ 262 (24MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor sizing (Full frame).

The M-E Typ 220 was unveiled 4 years prior to the M Typ 262 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving right into a thorough comparison, here is a short highlight of how the M-E Typ 220 grades vs the M Typ 262 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica M-E Typ 220 & Leica M Typ 262. The full galleries are provided at Leica M-E Typ 220 Gallery & Leica M Typ 262 Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera often, you'll have to take into account its weight and size.

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you choose at the time. Here is a front view physical size comparison of the M-E Typ 220 compared to the M Typ 262.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M-E Typ 220 and M Typ 262 is 79 and 77 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes merely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M-E Typ 220 and M Typ 262.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You can anticipate the Leica M Typ 262 to give extra detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M-E Typ 220 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
