Leica M9-P vs Leica SL2-S

Following is a thorough overview of the Leica M9-P and Leica SL2-S, both Pro Mirrorless cameras and they are both designed by Leica. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the M9-P (18MP) and SL2-S (24MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor measurements (Full frame).

The M9-P was introduced 10 years before the SL2-S which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Leica M9-P being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Leica SL2-S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving into a thorough comparison, here is a short introduction of how the M9-P grades versus the SL2-S in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M9-P and Leica SL2-S. The whole galleries are provided at Leica M9-P Gallery and Leica SL2-S Gallery.

When you are looking to carry around your camera, you need to take into account its weight and size. The Leica M9-P features physical measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) while the Leica SL2-S has specifications of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") having a weight of 931 grams (2.05 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are using at that time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the M9-P versus the SL2-S.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M9-P and SL2-S is 78 and 55 respectively.

Normally, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor sizes just by going through technical specs. The pic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M9-P and SL2-S.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Leica SL2-S to produce more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M9-P will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
