Leica M9-P vs Sigma Quattro H

Lets take a deeper look at the Leica M9-P and Sigma Quattro H, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Leica and Sigma. There exists a substantial gap between the image resolutions of the M9-P (18MP) and Quattro H (45MP) and the M9-P (Full frame) and Quattro H (APS-H) use totally different sensor sizes.

The M9-P was brought out 5 years prior to the Quattro H and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick summation of how the M9-P matches up versus the Quattro H when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you are looking to lug around your camera frequently, you should consider its weight and volume. The Leica M9-P has outside dimensions of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") having a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) while the Sigma Quattro H has sizing of 147mm x 95mm x 91mm (5.8" x 3.7" x 3.6") with a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. Below is the front view sizing comparison of the M9-P and the Quattro H.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M9-P and Quattro H is 78 and 78 respectively.

Normally, it's hard to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through technical specs. The visual here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M9-P and Quattro H.

As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M9-P featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Sigma Quattro H will resolve greater detail having its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older M9-P is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
