Leica M10 vs Leica T Type 701

Its time to look a bit more in depth at the Leica M10 vs Leica T Type 701, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless and they are both offered by Leica. There exists a sizable gap among the sensor resolutions of the M10 (24MP) and T Type 701 (16MP) and the M10 (Full frame) and T Type 701 (APS-C) offer different sensor size.

The M10 was released 2 years later than the T Type 701 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a complete comparison, here is a concise overview of how the M10 scores vs the T Type 701 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica M10 & Leica T Typ 701. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica M10 Gallery & Leica T Type 701 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry your camera frequently, you'll have to factor its weight and measurements.

Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing merely by going through technical specs. The visual here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and T Type 701.

As you have seen, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M10 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica M10 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more modern M10 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
