Leica M9-P vs Leica T Type 701

Let's look a bit more closely at the Leica M9-P versus Leica T Type 701, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless and both of them are produced by Leica. The resolution of the M9-P (18MP) and the T Type 701 (16MP) is relatively similar but the M9-P (Full frame) and T Type 701 (APS-C) provide totally different sensor sizes.

The M9-P was introduced 3 years earlier than the T Type 701 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the M9-P scores versus the T Type 701 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M9-P and Leica T Typ 701. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica M9-P Gallery and Leica T Type 701 Gallery.

When you are looking to travel with your camera regularly, you will want to think about its weight and proportions. The Leica M9-P enjoys exterior measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) while the Leica T Type 701 has measurements of 134mm x 69mm x 33mm (5.3" x 2.7" x 1.3") with a weight of 384 grams (0.85 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have at the time. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the M9-P versus the T Type 701.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M9-P and T Type 701 is 78 and 85 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over specs. The pic below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M9-P and T Type 701.

All in all, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M9-P using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Leica M9-P will offer more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged M9-P is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
