Leica T Type 701 vs Olympus PEN-F

Its time to look a bit more closely at the Leica T Type 701 vs Olympus PEN-F, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Leica and Olympus. The image resolution of the T Type 701 (16MP) and the PEN-F (20MP) is relatively well matched but the T Type 701 (APS-C) and PEN-F (Four Thirds) have different sensor sizing.

The T Type 701 was released 21 months earlier than the PEN-F which makes them a generation away from one another. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief view of how the T Type 701 grades against the PEN-F with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica T Typ 701 and Olympus PEN-F. The complete galleries are provided at Leica T Type 701 Gallery and Olympus PEN-F Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to travel with your camera frequently, you will have to think about its weight and measurements. The Leica T Type 701 features outer 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 PEN-F has proportions of 125mm x 72mm x 37mm (4.9" x 2.8" x 1.5") with a weight of 427 grams (0.94 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you use at the time. Here is a front view dimensions comparison of the T Type 701 and the PEN-F.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the T Type 701 and PEN-F is 85 and 84 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the T Type 701 and PEN-F.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The T Type 701 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus PEN-F will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged T Type 701 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
