Leica M10 vs Nikon 1 V3

Below, we are looking at the Leica M10 versus Nikon 1 V3, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Leica and Nikon. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the M10 (24MP) and 1 V3 (18MP) and the M10 (Full frame) and 1 V3 (1") enjoy different sensor measurements.

The M10 was manufactured 2 years later than the 1 V3 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving in to a complete comparison, below is a simple view of how the M10 matches up versus the 1 V3 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M10 and Nikon 1 V3. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica M10 Gallery and Nikon 1 V3 Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera often, you should take into account its weight and measurements.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the M10 and 1 V3 is 75 and 87 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M10 and 1 V3.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M10 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Leica M10 will provide greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The newer M10 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
