The M-E Typ 220 was announced 5 years prior to the M10 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a complete comparison, below is a concise summation of how the M-E Typ 220 matches up versus the M10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica M-E Typ 220 and Leica M10. The whole galleries are available at Leica M-E Typ 220 Gallery and Leica M10 Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to carry around your camera often, you will need to consider its weight and size. The Leica M-E Typ 220 has got outer measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 585 grams (1.29 lbs) whilst the Leica M10 has specifications of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") having a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have attached during that time. Following is the front view overall size comparison of the M-E Typ 220 versus the M10.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M-E Typ 220 and M10 is 79 and 75 respectively.

More often than not, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes only by going over specs. The picture below may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M-E Typ 220 and M10.

All in all, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Leica M10 to offer you extra detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M-E Typ 220 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
