Leica M Typ 262 vs Olympus E-P7

Its time to take a more detailed look at the Leica M Typ 262 versus Olympus E-P7, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Leica and Olympus. The image resolution of the M Typ 262 (24MP) and the E-P7 (20MP) is relatively well matched but the M Typ 262 (Full frame) and E-P7 (Four Thirds) use totally different sensor dimensions.

The M Typ 262 was released 6 years earlier than the E-P7 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the M Typ 262 grades versus the E-P7 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M Typ 262 and Olympus PEN E-P7. The complete galleries are provided at Leica M Typ 262 Gallery and Olympus E-P7 Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to think about its weight and size. The Leica M Typ 262 comes with physical dimensions of 139mm x 80mm x 42mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.7") and a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) while the Olympus E-P7 has specifications of 118mm x 69mm x 38mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.5") with a weight of 337 grams (0.74 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have at that moment. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the M Typ 262 vs the E-P7.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the M Typ 262 and E-P7 is 77 and 86 respectively.

Often, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading through technical specs. The picture below might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M Typ 262 and E-P7.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M Typ 262 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Leica M Typ 262 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M Typ 262 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
