Leica SL vs Olympus E-M5 II

Following is a complete review of the Leica SL vs Olympus E-M5 II, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Leica and Olympus. There is a big difference among the resolutions of the SL (24MP) and E-M5 II (16MP) and the SL (Full frame) and E-M5 II (Four Thirds) posses different sensor size.

The SL was announced 9 months after the E-M5 II which means that they are of a similar generation. Both of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the SL scores versus the E-M5 II in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica SL and Olympus OM-D E-M5 II. The whole galleries are available at Leica SL Gallery and Olympus E-M5 II Gallery.

For those who are intending to carry around your camera frequently, you will have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Leica SL has got outside dimensions of 147mm x 104mm x 39mm (5.8" x 4.1" x 1.5") along with a weight of 847 grams (1.87 lbs) whilst the Olympus E-M5 II has measurements of 124mm x 85mm x 45mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 469 grams (1.03 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use at that moment. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the SL and the E-M5 II.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the SL and E-M5 II is 67 and 80 respectively.

Often, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by checking out specifications. The picture here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL and E-M5 II.

To sum up, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SL having a larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Leica SL will produce greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The younger SL should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
