Leica M10 vs Leica M8

The following is a comprehensive analysis of the Leica M10 vs Leica M8, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras and both are produced by Leica. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the M10 (24MP) and M8 (10MP) and the M10 (Full frame) and M8 (APS-H) provide different sensor size.

The M10 was released 9 years after the M8 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a full comparison, here is a quick summation of how the M10 matches up versus the M8 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica M10 and Leica M8. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica M10 Gallery and Leica M8 Gallery.

In case you're intending to travel with your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Leica M10 offers outer measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") and a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) whilst the Leica M8 has measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 591 grams (1.30 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with at that moment. Below is a front view measurements comparison of the M10 vs the M8.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M10 and M8 is 75 and 79 respectively.

Normally, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions just by looking at technical specs. The image here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M10 and M8.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M10 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Leica M10 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more recent M10 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
