Leica M11 vs Sigma fp
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Battery life (CIPA): the M11 leads at Approx. 700 shots (CIPA Standard, rangefinder mode), up to approx. 1700 shots (Leica adapted shooting cycle) vs the fp's 280 still images; 70 minutes continuous.
- Resolution (MP): the M11 leads at 60 vs the fp's 24.6.
- Weight (body): the fp leads at 422 g vs the M11's 530 g.

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
