Leica X (Typ 113) vs Leica X2

Below, we will be comparing the Leica X (Typ 113) versus Leica X2, both Large Sensor Compact cameras and both of them are offered by Leica. The image resolution of the X (Typ 113) (16MP) and the X2 (16MP) is relatively comparable and they come with the exact same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The X (Typ 113) was announced 2 years later than the X2 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before getting through a thorough comparison, below is a simple summation of how the X (Typ 113) grades versus the X2 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica X and Leica X2. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica X (Typ 113) Gallery and Leica X2 Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to carry your camera often, you're going to have to factor its weight and measurements. The Leica X (Typ 113) features outer dimensions of 133mm x 73mm x 78mm (5.2" x 2.9" x 3.1") along with a weight of 486 grams (1.07 lbs) whilst the Leica X2 has proportions of 124mm x 69mm x 52mm (4.9" x 2.7" x 2.0") accompanied by a weight of 345 grams (0.76 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are working with at that moment. Underneath is the front view sizing comparison of the X (Typ 113) versus the X2.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the X (Typ 113) and X2 is 71 and 83 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing specifications. The graphic underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the X (Typ 113) and X2.

To sum up, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements and the identical MP and you should expect comparable quality of photographs but you may want to factor the release date of the cameras into account. The more recent X (Typ 113) should have an edge in sensor innovation.
