Leica M9-P vs Samsung NX200

Following is a thorough comparison of the Leica M9-P versus Samsung NX200, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Leica and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the M9-P (18MP) and the NX200 (20MP) is fairly comparable but the M9-P (Full frame) and NX200 (APS-C) provide totally different sensor measurements.

The M9-P was released 8 months before the NX200 which means that they are of a similar generation. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going into a thorough comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the M9-P matches up versus the NX200 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica M9-P and Samsung NX200. The complete galleries are available at Leica M9-P Gallery and Samsung NX200 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera regularly, you have to consider its weight and measurements. The Leica M9-P has outside dimensions of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") along with a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) while the Samsung NX200 has proportions of 117mm x 63mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.4") with a weight of 223 grams (0.49 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you choose at the time. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the M9-P vs the NX200.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the M9-P and NX200 is 78 and 90 respectively.

Often, its hard to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by checking out a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M9-P and NX200.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M9-P featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX200 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged M9-P will be behind in sensor technology.
