Leica M10 vs Nikon Z7 II

Let's look much closer at the Leica M10 and Nikon Z7 II, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Leica and Nikon. There is a large difference between the sensor resolutions of the M10 (24MP) and Z7 II (46MP) but both cameras posses the same sensor sizing (Full frame).

The M10 was introduced 4 years before the Z7 II and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Leica M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon Z7 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the M10 grades versus the Z7 II with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica M10 & Nikon Z7 Mark II. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica M10 Gallery & Nikon Z7 II Gallery.

When you are planning to carry your camera, you'll need to take into account its weight and proportions.

Often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at specs. The visual underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and Z7 II.

All in all, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon Z7 II to give more detail using its extra 22 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older M10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
