Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Leica M10: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Leica M10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-Pro3 has external dimensions of 141 x 83 x 46 mm (5.55 x 3.27 x 1.81″) and weighs 497 g (1.10 lb / 17.53 oz) (including batteries). Leica M10 has external dimensions of 139 x 39 x 80 mm (5.47 x 1.54 x 3.15″) and weighs 660 g (1.46 lb / 23.28 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Leica M10. Leica M10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 2mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 7mm thinner than Fujifilm X-Pro3.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Leica M10.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm X-Pro3 is significantly lighter (163g ) than the Leica M10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Leica M10 has a Full frame sensor and Fujifilm X-Pro3 has a smaller APS-C sensor, Fujifilm X-Pro3's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Leica M10 lenses.

Weather Sealing

With its weather sealed body, we believe that X-Pro3 has a big advantage over M10 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Leica M10's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".

On the other hand, Fujifilm X-Pro3 features a Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels whereas the Leica M10 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-Pro3.
Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Leica M10: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm X-Pro3 has a 26.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor 4 processor. On the other hand, Leica M10 has a 24.0MP Full frame (35.8 x 23.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Maestro II processor.

Another difference between these two cameras is that Fujifilm X-Pro3's sensor lacks anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the X-Pro3 and M10 sensor size comparison.

As seen above, Leica M10 has a 2.3x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm X-Pro3. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Leica M10 Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Fujifilm X-Pro3 has an advantage over Leica M10. There are 78 lenses for Fujifilm X-Pro3's Fujifilm X mount, on the other hand there are only 62 lenses for Leica M10's Leica M lens mount.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 17 lenses for Fujifilm X mount and 0 lenses for Leica M mount with IS.
