Leica M10 vs Olympus VG-120

Here, we will be looking at the Leica M10 versus Olympus VG-120, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Ultracompact by rivals Leica and Olympus. There exists a sizable gap between the resolutions of the M10 (24MP) and VG-120 (14MP) and the M10 (Full frame) and VG-120 (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor sizes.

The M10 was revealed 6 years later than the VG-120 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Leica M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus VG-120 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting right into a more detailed comparison, here is a quick view of how the M10 grades vs the VG-120 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica M10 & Olympus VG-120. The full galleries are available at Leica M10 Gallery & Olympus VG-120 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera regularly, you need to factor its weight and volume. The Leica M10 comes with physical dimensions of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) whilst the Olympus VG-120 has sizing of 96mm x 57mm x 19mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 0.7") with a weight of 120 grams (0.26 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you select at that moment. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the M10 versus the VG-120.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M10 and VG-120 is 75 and 96 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor measurements simply by going over specifications. The graphic here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the M10 and VG-120.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M10 with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Leica M10 will offer you greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer M10 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
