Leica M10 with Leica SL Overview


Let's compare SL with M10. Both cameras produced Leica. These models are included in the Pro Mirrorless cameras. Leica SL was released in 2015, and Leica M10 in 2017. M10 is newer, which is a plus. SL 2 years older.
These two cameras have the same sensor resolution - 24 MP. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (M10), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
SL has electronic viewfinder, and the M10 doesn’t have. Viewfinder SL has a higher resolution of 4400k dots, M10 has a resolution of no electronic viewfinderk dots. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Leica SL has 5.0 fps continuous shooting. Leica SL has 5.0 fps continuous shooting.
