Leica SL2 vs Leica X (Typ 113)

Following is a complete review of the Leica SL2 and Leica X (Typ 113), former is a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact and they are both manufactured by Leica. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the SL2 (47MP) and X (Typ 113) (16MP) and the SL2 (Full frame) and X (Typ 113) (APS-C) boast different sensor sizing.

The SL2 was revealed 5 years after the X (Typ 113) which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Leica SL2 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Leica X (Typ 113) being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving straight to a complete comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the SL2 grades versus the X (Typ 113) when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Leica SL2 & Leica X. The full galleries are provided at Leica SL2 Gallery & Leica X (Typ 113) Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera frequently, you have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Leica SL2 has got external measurements of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") along with a weight of 835 grams (1.84 lbs) and the Leica X (Typ 113) has dimensions of 133mm x 73mm x 78mm (5.2" x 2.9" x 3.1") with a weight of 486 grams (1.07 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are employing at that moment. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the SL2 versus the X (Typ 113).

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SL2 and X (Typ 113) is 57 and 71 respectively.

Normally, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by checking out specs. The pic below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the SL2 and X (Typ 113).

All in all, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SL2 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Leica SL2 will show greater detail because of its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots more aggressively. The more recent SL2 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
