Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have at that moment. Following is the front view scale comparison of the CL compared to the G95.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the CL and G95 is 82 and 67 respectively.

In many cases, its difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The picture here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the CL and G95.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The CL because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Leica CL will offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 3.7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged CL is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
