Leica M10 vs OM System OM-1

Let's look more in depth at the Leica M10 vs OM System OM-1, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Leica and Olympus. The resolution of the M10 (24MP) and the OM System OM-1 (20MP) is pretty close but the M10 (Full frame) and OM System OM-1 (Four Thirds) have different sensor measurements.

The M10 was manufactured 6 years before the OM System OM-1 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Leica M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the OM System OM-1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the M10 scores versus the OM System OM-1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Leica M10 and OM System OM-1. The entire galleries are available at Leica M10 Gallery and OM System OM-1 Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera frequently, you are going to need to think about its weight and measurements. The Leica M10 enjoys exterior measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") having a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) while the OM System OM-1 has proportions of 135mm x 92mm x 73mm (5.3" x 3.6" x 2.9") with a weight of 599 grams (1.32 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you use during that time. Underneath is a front view physical size comparison of the M10 against the OM System OM-1.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the M10 and OM System OM-1 is 75 and 65 respectively.

Usually, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The graphic here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M10 and OM System OM-1.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M10 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Leica M10 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older M10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
