Leica M9 vs Nikon S1100pj

The following is a extended review of the Leica M9 versus Nikon S1100pj, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact by companies Leica and Nikon. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the M9 (18MP) and S1100pj (14MP) and the M9 (Full frame) and S1100pj (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor size.

The M9 was announced 11 months earlier than the S1100pj and they are of a similar generation. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Leica M9 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon S1100pj being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving in to a more detailed comparison, below is a brief view of how the M9 matches up against the S1100pj in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M9 and Nikon Coolpix S1100pj. The whole galleries are provided at Leica M9 Gallery and Nikon S1100pj Gallery.

For anybody who is going to travel with your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and proportions. The Leica M9 has outer measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 585 grams (1.29 lbs) and the Nikon S1100pj has measurements of 101mm x 68mm x 24mm (4.0" x 2.7" x 0.9") along with a weight of 180 grams (0.40 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have attached during that time. The following is the front view size comparison of the M9 and the S1100pj.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the M9 and S1100pj is 79 and 93 respectively.

In many cases, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through a spec sheet. The image underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M9 and S1100pj.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M9 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica M9 will result in extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M9 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
