Leica SL2-S vs Samsung NX10 Overview

Below is a in depth overview of the Leica SL2-S and Samsung NX10, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by brands Leica and Samsung. There is a sizeable difference between the image resolutions of the SL2-S (24MP) and NX10 (15MP) and the SL2-S (Full frame) and NX10 (APS-C) feature totally different sensor sizing.

The SL2-S was introduced 10 years later than the NX10 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting through a more detailed comparison, below is a simple summary of how the SL2-S grades versus the NX10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Leica SL2-S vs Samsung NX10 Physical Comparison

		

		

			
In case you're aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Leica SL2-S comes with outside measurements of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") along with a weight of 931 grams (2.05 lbs) while the Samsung NX10 has dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") with a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs).

Leica SL2-S vs Samsung NX10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by checking technical specs. The visual below should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL2-S and NX10.
As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SL2-S using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica SL2-S will resolve greater detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SL2-S will have an edge in sensor technology.
