Leica M11 vs Olympus PEN-F

Lets take a closer look at the Leica M11 and Olympus PEN-F, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Leica and Olympus. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the M11 (60MP) and PEN-F (20MP) and the M11 (Full frame) and PEN-F (Four Thirds) provide different sensor measurements.

The M11 was launched 6 years after the PEN-F which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the M11 matches up vs the PEN-F in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Leica M11 and Olympus PEN-F. The complete galleries are provided at Leica M11 Gallery and Olympus PEN-F Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera often, you'll have to think about its weight and size.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out specifications. The pic underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the M11 and PEN-F.

Plainly, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M11 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Leica M11 will provide greater detail utilizing its extra 40MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more modern M11 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
