Leica M11 Monochrome vs Nikon 1 V1

Here, we are reviewing the Leica M11 Monochrome vs Nikon 1 V1, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Leica and Nikon. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the M11 Monochrome (60MP) and 1 V1 (10MP) and the M11 Monochrome (Full frame) and 1 V1 (1") provide different sensor dimensions.

The M11 Monochrome was brought out 11 years after the 1 V1 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise summation of how the M11 Monochrome matches up against the 1 V1 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica M11 Monochrome and Nikon 1 V1. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica M11 Monochrome Gallery and Nikon 1 V1 Gallery.

If you are going to carry around your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are working with during that time. Here is a front view sizing comparison of the M11 Monochrome and the 1 V1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M11 Monochrome and 1 V1 is 76 and 84 respectively.

More often than not, it's difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the M11 Monochrome and 1 V1.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M11 Monochrome because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Leica M11 Monochrome will resolve greater detail having its extra 50MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The newer M11 Monochrome should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
