Leica is a legendary brand, well known for a very specific camera experience and a desirable, unique look to their images. Fujifilm has made significant strides in the past decade, though, and their X-Pro series offers an experience similar to a rangefinder with a variety of interesting advanced and hybrid features. So, is Leica worth its significantly higher price? This great video review compares the Leica M11 to the Fujifilm X-Pro3 to find out.
Coming to you from Gajan Balan, this excellent video review compares the Leica M11 to the Fujifilm X-Pro3. No one will argue that Leica makes some of the most expensive consumer photography equipment on the planet, but a lot of their users absolutely swear by both the experience and the images, and the company has maintained a fiercely loyal following over the years. On the other hand, Fujifilm has established itself as a unique brand that offers forward-looking features and capabilities in retro-styled bodies, endearing them to many users. Of course, one fundamental difference is that Leica cameras use full frame sensors, while Fuji's X Series bodies use APS-C sensors, but depending on what you shoot, that difference may not matter to you that much. Check out the video above for Balan's full thoughts on both cameras.
I’ve recently sold all my Leica (and Canon) equipment and moved to Fujifilm. As I have gotten older I have found it increasingly difficult to get good focus every time with the rangefinder. This was purely down to declining eyesight. I did try the evf but this was not a permanent solution. Also, I now have an age related tremor in my hands. No Leica has any form of ibis. I can definitely see a difference in images from the Fuji compared to the Leica but I have a much higher success rate with the Fuji
