Fujifilm X-E1 vs Leica T (Typ 701)

The Fujifilm X-E1 and the Leica T (Typ 701) side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Leica T (Typ 701) if you want a newer model (2014 against 2012), which usually means better autofocus and video. On these specs the Fujifilm X-E1 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Fujifilm X or L-Mount lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
