Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Leica TL2: 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 TL2 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 TL2 has external dimensions of 134 x 69 x 33 mm (5.28 x 2.72 x 1.3″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Leica TL2. Leica TL2 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 7mm narrower, 14mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Fujifilm X-Pro3.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Leica TL2 is significantly lighter (98g ) than the Fujifilm X-Pro3 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 both Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Leica TL2 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.

Weather Sealing

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

LCD Screen Size and Features

Leica TL2's 3.70" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm X-Pro3's 3 screen.

On the other hand, Fujifilm X-Pro3 LCD screen has a Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Leica TL2 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-Pro3.
Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Leica TL2: 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 TL2 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .

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 sensor size comparison.

Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Leica TL2 have almost the same sensor size so none of them has any significant advantage over other in providing control over depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.

Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Leica TL2 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 TL2. There are 78 lenses for Fujifilm X-Pro3's Fujifilm X mount, on the other hand there are only 53 lenses for Leica TL2's Leica TL 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 8 lenses for Leica TL mount with IS.
