Leica M Typ 240 vs Olympus TG-860

Following is a in depth analysis of the Leica M Typ 240 versus Olympus TG-860, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Waterproof by competitors Leica and Olympus. There is a huge difference between the sensor resolutions of the M Typ 240 (24MP) and TG-860 (16MP) and the M Typ 240 (Full frame) and TG-860 (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor measurements.

The M Typ 240 was brought out 3 years prior to the TG-860 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Leica M Typ 240 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus TG-860 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a simple summary of how the M Typ 240 matches up versus the TG-860 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M Typ 240 and Olympus Stylus Tough TG-860. The entire galleries are available at Leica M Typ 240 Gallery and Olympus TG-860 Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry around your camera frequently, you will have to take into account its weight and volume.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are using at the time. Following is a front view scale comparison of the M Typ 240 against the TG-860.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the M Typ 240 and TG-860 is 74 and 91 respectively.

Generally, it is hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes just by reviewing specifications. The image below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M Typ 240 and TG-860.

Plainly, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M Typ 240 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Leica M Typ 240 will offer greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged M Typ 240 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
