Leica M Typ 240 vs Olympus E-P7 Overview
Let's examine more closely at the Leica M Typ 240 and Olympus E-P7, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Leica and Olympus. The image resolution of the M Typ 240 (24MP) and the E-P7 (20MP) is relatively well matched but the M Typ 240 (Full frame) and E-P7 (Four Thirds) use totally different sensor size.

The M Typ 240 was revealed 9 years prior to the E-P7 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).
Before going in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the M Typ 240 matches up versus the E-P7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.
