Leica M Typ 262 vs Samsung NX1000

Here, we will be comparing the Leica M Typ 262 versus Samsung NX1000, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Leica and Samsung. The image resolution of the M Typ 262 (24MP) and the NX1000 (20MP) is relatively well matched but the M Typ 262 (Full frame) and NX1000 (APS-C) boast totally different sensor sizing.

The M Typ 262 was manufactured 3 years later than the NX1000 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going into a full comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the M Typ 262 scores against the NX1000 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M Typ 262 and Samsung NX1000. The entire galleries are available at Leica M Typ 262 Gallery and Samsung NX1000 Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Leica M Typ 262 features outside measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 42mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.7") having a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) and the Samsung NX1000 has dimensions of 114mm x 63mm x 37mm (4.5" x 2.5" x 1.5") with a weight of 222 grams (0.49 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Underneath is a front view over all size comparison of the M Typ 262 against the NX1000.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the M Typ 262 and NX1000 is 77 and 90 respectively.

Generally, its hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The visual here may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M Typ 262 and NX1000.

As you can tell, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M Typ 262 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Leica M Typ 262 will give you extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern M Typ 262 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
