Leica M Typ 240 vs Olympus E-M1

Its time to examine more in depth at the Leica M Typ 240 and Olympus E-M1, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by companies Leica and Olympus. There is a large difference among the image resolutions of the M Typ 240 (24MP) and E-M1 (16MP) and the M Typ 240 (Full frame) and E-M1 (Four Thirds) enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The M Typ 240 was revealed 13 months prior to the E-M1 making the cameras a generation away from each other. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Leica M Typ 240 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus E-M1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a thorough comparison, below is a short view of how the M Typ 240 grades against the E-M1 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M Typ 240 & Olympus OM-D E-M1. The full galleries are available at Leica M Typ 240 Gallery & Olympus E-M1 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera regularly, you are going to need to take into account its weight and measurements.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you are utilising at that time. Following is the front view size comparison of the M Typ 240 compared to the E-M1.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the M Typ 240 and E-M1 is 74 and 71 respectively.

In many cases, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through a spec sheet. The pic here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M Typ 240 and E-M1.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M Typ 240 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Leica M Typ 240 will produce greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged M Typ 240 will be behind in sensor technology.
