Leica CL vs Panasonic G7

Its time to take a deeper look at the Leica CL vs Panasonic G7, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by companies Leica and Panasonic. There exists a large gap between the resolutions of the CL (24MP) and G7 (16MP) and the CL (APS-C) and G7 (Four Thirds) enjoy totally different sensor size.

The CL was introduced 2 years later than the G7 and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Leica CL being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going in to a thorough comparison, below is a concise summation of how the CL grades vs the G7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you have chosen at the time. Following is the front view proportions comparison of the CL versus the G7.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the CL and G7 is 82 and 71 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through specifications. The graphic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the CL and G7.

To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The CL with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Leica CL will give greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent CL is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
