The M10 was introduced 5 years later than the 1 J1 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a complete comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the M10 scores versus the 1 J1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Leica M10 & Nikon 1 J1. The whole galleries are available at Leica M10 Gallery & Nikon 1 J1 Gallery.

Oftentimes, it's tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements just by seeing specifications. The photograph underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the M10 and 1 J1.

To sum up, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M10 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica M10 will provide greater detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The newer M10 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
