Let's look more closely at the Leica M8 vs Sony ZV-E10, former is a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Leica and Sony. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the M8 (10MP) and ZV-E10 (24MP) and the M8 (APS-H) and ZV-E10 (APS-C) provide different sensor dimensions.

The M8 was manufactured 15 years earlier than the ZV-E10 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving right into a complete comparison, here is a concise overview of how the M8 matches up against the ZV-E10 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M8 & Sony ZV-E10. The entire galleries are provided at Leica M8 Gallery & Sony ZV-E10 Gallery.

Normally, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading a spec sheet. The picture here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M8 and ZV-E10.

Clearly, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M8 because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony ZV-E10 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged M8 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
