Leica M8 vs Samsung NX2000

Let's examine more closely at the Leica M8 vs Samsung NX2000, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by brands Leica and Samsung. There exists a sizable gap between the image resolutions of the M8 (10MP) and NX2000 (20MP) and the M8 (APS-H) and NX2000 (APS-C) come with different sensor measurements.

The M8 was released 7 years before the NX2000 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting through a thorough comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the M8 matches up versus the NX2000 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica M8 & Samsung NX2000. The complete galleries are provided at Leica M8 Gallery & Samsung NX2000 Gallery.

If you're looking to lug around your camera often, you'll have to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Leica M8 has exterior dimensions of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 591 grams (1.30 lbs) whilst the Samsung NX2000 has dimensions of 119mm x 65mm x 36mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.4") and a weight of 228 grams (0.50 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you have at that moment. The following is the front view sizing comparison of the M8 and the NX2000.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M8 and NX2000 is 79 and 89 respectively.

Quite often, its difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at specifications. The visual here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the M8 and NX2000.

Plainly, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M8 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX2000 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older M8 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
