Leica M11 vs Leica M9-P

Lets examine more closely at the Leica M11 and Leica M9-P, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras and they are both created by Leica. There is a considerable difference between the image resolutions of the M11 (60MP) and M9-P (18MP) but they possess the exact same sensor sizes (Full frame).

The M11 was brought out 10 years after the M9-P which is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief view of how the M11 matches up versus the M9-P with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Leica M11 & Leica M9-P. The entire galleries are provided at Leica M11 Gallery & Leica M9-P Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to travel with your camera, you'll have to factor in its weight and volume. The Leica M11 provides outer measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) whilst the Leica M9-P has sizing of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") along with a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you have attached at the time. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the M11 compared to the M9-P.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the M11 and M9-P is 76 and 78 respectively.

Generally, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The picture here will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M11 and M9-P.

As you have seen, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Leica M11 to resolve more detail having its extra 42MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The newer M11 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
