Leica M9-P vs Sony A6000

Lets take a closer look at the Leica M9-P vs Sony A6000, former is a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Leica and Sony. There exists a substantial gap between the sensor resolutions of the M9-P (18MP) and A6000 (24MP) and the M9-P (Full frame) and A6000 (APS-C) feature different sensor measurements.

The M9-P was revealed 3 years earlier than the A6000 which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a concise overview of how the M9-P grades versus the A6000 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M9-P & Sony Alpha a6000. The full galleries are provided at Leica M9-P Gallery & Sony A6000 Gallery.

If you are intending to travel with your camera, you will want to consider its weight and size. The Leica M9-P features outer measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") having a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) whilst the Sony A6000 has specifications of 120mm x 67mm x 45mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.8") and a weight of 344 grams (0.76 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you select at that moment. Following is the front view proportions comparison of the M9-P and the A6000.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M9-P and A6000 is 78 and 85 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions only by looking at technical specs. The pic below might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the M9-P and A6000.

As you can tell, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M9-P having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A6000 will give you more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M9-P is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
