Take a look between the comparison of Leica X vario and Fujifilm X100S, the Leica X vario features 16 MP, APS-C CMOS image sensor and ISO 100-12500 on the other hand Fujifilm X100S features 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor and Expandable ISO 100-25600, take a look at the Major Specification Below.
About the sensors
A large APS-C CMOS image sensor is integrated into the X100S to provide high image quality and detail. Using Fujifilm’s unique X-Trans bespoke pixel array, the sensor is designed with a randomized pixel pattern to eliminate the need of an optical low-pass filter for reducing moiré and aliasing. By removing this filter from the design, higher image sharpness is possible. Lens Modulation Optimizer (LMO) factors are also taken into account using the EXR Processor II, which helps to automatically compensate for aberrations and diffraction blur in order to produce images with the utmost inherent sharpness. The image sensor also utilizes backside illumination technology to help with the integration of phase-detection pixels into the sensor for improved autofocus performance without affecting image quality.
Not much details available about Leica X vario uses APS-C size sensor features a resolution of 16.1MP.
Lens
Fujifilm features built-in 23mm f/2 fixed focal length lens gives a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 35mm, making it more compact and easy to carry.
Leica X vario features Vario-Elmar 28-70mm f/3.5-6.4 ASPH Zoom Lens (35mm Equiv) , it give you more range but the camera size also increases.
AF System
Intelligent Hybrid AF is a quick, responsive autofocus system that employs both contrast- and phase-detection methods, focus can be attained in as little as 0.08 second.
Fujifilm offers 42 point AF system on the other hand Leica is limited to 11 point only.
ISO Range
The combination of the sensor and processor enables a native sensitivity range from ISO 200-6400, which is further expandable to ISO 100-25600. Leica Vario X offers an ISO sensitivity range of 100-12500.
Video mode
Capture HD 1920×1080 video at 30fps, In Fujifilm X100S Full HD movie recording is supported up to 1920 x 1080 at 60fps with a 36Mbps bit-rate for clear, fluid-looking videos.

The size and quality of the sensor means low image noise, high dynamic range and accurate color reproduction. The wide-angle to telephoto zoom range of the Leica X Vario offers photographers the options for many more creative compositions: indoor scenes, impressive landscapes or intimate portraits. The Leica X Vario allows users to change focal length easily and quickly to spontaneously capture the perfect moment giving the user the feel of classic Leica controls. In addition, the autofocus is fast and extremely precise while the switch from autofocus to manual focusing is intuitive – simply move the focusing ring on the lens from MF to AF mode”
“The design and finish of the Leica X Vario reflects the ultimate art of engineering with attention to detail and the use of the finest materials. When you first see the Leica X Vario, the Leica DNA will be obvious. A few minutes of handling the Leica X Vario and design characteristics of the Leica M will be apparent including compactness and construction. The top plate is machined from solid aluminum, the process identical to that used for the Leica M. The magnesium and aluminum body feels solid while the soft leather trim provides a comfortable but firm and reassuring grip. The Leica X Vario provides the user with a unique,one of a kind visual and tactile experience which is synonymous with a Leica made in Germany.”
