Leica M10 vs Panasonic GH6

Lets take a more detailed look at the Leica M10 vs Panasonic GH6, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Leica and Panasonic. The resolution of the M10 (24MP) and the GH6 (25MP) is relatively well matched but the M10 (Full frame) and GH6 (Four Thirds) enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

Photography Glossary

The M10 was introduced 6 years prior to the GH6 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Leica M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GH6 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight into a full comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the M10 scores against the GH6 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M10 and Panasonic Lumix DC-GH6. The whole galleries are available at Leica M10 Gallery and Panasonic GH6 Gallery.

Normally, its tough to envision the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading through technical specs. The graphic underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the M10 and GH6.

As you can tell, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M10 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic GH6 will resolve more detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older M10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
