Leica M10 vs Samsung NX2000

Here is a extensive comparison of the Leica M10 versus Samsung NX2000, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Leica and Samsung. The resolution of the M10 (24MP) and the NX2000 (20MP) is relatively close but the M10 (Full frame) and NX2000 (APS-C) enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The M10 was introduced 3 years later than the NX2000 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting in to a full comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the M10 matches up versus the NX2000 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M10 and Samsung NX2000. The whole galleries are provided at Leica M10 Gallery and Samsung NX2000 Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry your camera, you need to think about its weight and dimensions. The Leica M10 provides outside measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) whilst the Samsung NX2000 has dimensions of 119mm x 65mm x 36mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.4") along with a weight of 228 grams (0.50 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are working with during that time. Below is the front view dimensions comparison of the M10 versus the NX2000.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M10 and NX2000 is 75 and 89 respectively.

Normally, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing technical specs. The graphic underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M10 and NX2000.

As you can tell, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M10 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica M10 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher M10 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
