Leica M-Monochrom vs Samsung NX2000

Let's look more closely at the Leica M-Monochrom vs Samsung NX2000, former is a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Leica and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the M-Monochrom (18MP) and the NX2000 (20MP) is very similar but the M-Monochrom (Full frame) and NX2000 (APS-C) have totally different sensor sizes.

The M-Monochrom was introduced 18 months earlier than the NX2000 making them a generation away from one another. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief overview of how the M-Monochrom matches up against the NX2000 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M-Monochrom & Samsung NX2000. The whole galleries are provided at Leica M-Monochrom Gallery & Samsung NX2000 Gallery.

Typically, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes merely by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M-Monochrom and NX2000.

As you can see, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M-Monochrom with its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX2000 will offer extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M-Monochrom is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
