The M11 was released 9 years after the 1 J2 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving through a comprehensive comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the M11 grades versus the 1 J2 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M11 and Nikon 1 J2. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica M11 Gallery and Nikon 1 J2 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera frequently, you'll have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you select at that moment. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the M11 against the 1 J2.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the M11 and 1 J2 is 76 and 91 respectively.

Generally, it can be difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M11 and 1 J2.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M11 because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Leica M11 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 50 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer M11 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
