Leica M10 vs Sigma Quattro

Following is a in-depth assessment of the Leica M10 and Sigma Quattro, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Leica and Sigma. The image resolution of the M10 (24MP) and the Quattro (29MP) is very well matched but the M10 (Full frame) and Quattro (APS-C) enjoy totally different sensor size.

The M10 was introduced 11 months after the Quattro so they are of a similar generation. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a complete comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the M10 scores versus the Quattro for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M10 and Sigma sd Quattro. The whole galleries are available at Leica M10 Gallery and Sigma Quattro Gallery.

For those who are intending to carry around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor in its weight and volume.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Following is the front view proportions comparison of the M10 compared to the Quattro.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the M10 and Quattro is 75 and 63 respectively.

In many cases, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The pic underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and Quattro.

As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M10 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sigma Quattro will resolve extra detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent M10 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
