The M10 was launched 2 years after the A6000 which is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a simple summation of how the M10 scores versus the A6000 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M10 & Sony Alpha a6000. The complete galleries are provided at Leica M10 Gallery & Sony A6000 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera frequently, you should factor in its weight and volume.

Typically, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes just by seeing specs. The picture underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M10 and A6000.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras feature the identical megapixel count albeit different sensor sizes. The M10 has the bigger sensor which should make getting shallower DOF easier. The more recent M10 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
