Verdict
Pick the Blackmagic URSA Mini 4.6K if you prioritize high-resolution video, modern cinema features, and a lower price—its 4.6K capability and 2016 release make it the stronger choice for filmmakers. The Leica X2 stays the better choice if still photography is your focus, offering far higher resolution (16.2MP) and a compact-expert form factor, despite its age and limited video specs. Avoid the X2 if video or fast action is a priority, given its 720p limit and 5fps burst.
