Leica T Type 701 vs Olympus E-PL9

Lets look much closer at the Leica T Type 701 versus Olympus E-PL9, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Leica and Olympus. The resolution of the T Type 701 (16MP) and the E-PL9 (16MP) is very comparable but the T Type 701 (APS-C) and E-PL9 (Four Thirds) posses different sensor size.

The T Type 701 was launched 4 years earlier than the E-PL9 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a full comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the T Type 701 scores vs the E-PL9 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica T Typ 701 and Olympus PEN E-PL9. The complete galleries are available at Leica T Type 701 Gallery and Olympus E-PL9 Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera often, you'll have to factor in its weight and volume. The Leica T Type 701 comes with external measurements of 134mm x 69mm x 33mm (5.3" x 2.7" x 1.3") along with a weight of 384 grams (0.85 lbs) and the Olympus E-PL9 has sizing of 117mm x 68mm x 39mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.5") along with a weight of 380 grams (0.84 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you use at the time. The following is a front view overall size comparison of the T Type 701 versus the E-PL9.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the T Type 701 and E-PL9 is 85 and 85 respectively.

More often than not, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes simply by checking out technical specs. The picture here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the T Type 701 and E-PL9.

As you have seen, both cameras have the same megapixel count but different sensor sizes. The T Type 701 uses the larger sensor which is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler. The more aged T Type 701 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
