Nikon D6 has a
21.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 23.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 6 processor. On the other hand, Leica M-Monochrom has a
18.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized Monochrome CCD sensor .
Below you can see the D6 and M-Monochrom sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon D6 and Leica M-Monochrom Cameras
Nikon D6 and Leica M-Monochrom have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon D6
or the
Leica M-Monochrom ,
including hyperfocal distance.
