Leica TL2 vs YI M1

Lets look a little more in depth at the Leica TL2 vs YI M1, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Leica and YI. The sensor resolution of the TL2 (24MP) and the M1 (20MP) is fairly comparable but the TL2 (APS-C) and M1 (Four Thirds) provide different sensor measurements.

The TL2 was introduced 10 months later than the M1 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a full comparison, here is a concise summary of how the TL2 scores versus the M1 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica TL2 and YI M1. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica TL2 Gallery and YI M1 Gallery.

For those who are intending to carry your camera frequently, you will need to think about its weight and volume. The Leica TL2 comes with physical measurements of 134mm x 69mm x 33mm (5.3" x 2.7" x 1.3") along with a weight of 399 grams (0.88 lbs) and the YI M1 has sizing of 114mm x 64mm x 34mm (4.5" x 2.5" x 1.3") with a weight of 350 grams (0.77 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the TL2 vs the M1.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the TL2 and M1 is 85 and 87 respectively.

Usually, it can be difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing simply by seeing specs. The visual here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL2 and M1.

All in all, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TL2 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Leica TL2 will produce greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The younger TL2 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
