Leica M10 vs Leica SL2-S

Here is a complete review of the Leica M10 and Leica SL2-S, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras and both are designed by Leica. The image resolution of the M10 (24MP) and the SL2-S (24MP) is very similar and both cameras posses the same sensor measurements (Full frame).

The M10 was introduced 4 years before the SL2-S and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Leica M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Leica SL2-S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the M10 grades versus the SL2-S for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M10 and Leica SL2-S. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica M10 Gallery and Leica SL2-S Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to carry your camera frequently, you will want to think about its weight and size. The Leica M10 comes with external dimensions of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) and the Leica SL2-S has specifications of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") having a weight of 931 grams (2.05 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Here is a front view scale comparison of the M10 compared to the SL2-S.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M10 and SL2-S is 75 and 55 respectively.

More often than not, its tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing only by reviewing specifications. The visual here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and SL2-S.

Plainly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions and the same MP therefore you should expect similar quality of files but you might want to consider the production date of the products into consideration. The older M10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
