Leica CL vs Panasonic GF2

Below is a in depth overview of the Leica CL versus Panasonic GF2, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Leica and Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap between the resolutions of the CL (24MP) and GF2 (12MP) and the CL (APS-C) and GF2 (Four Thirds) offer totally different sensor measurements.

The CL was revealed 6 years later than the GF2 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a thorough comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the CL scores against the GF2 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica CL & Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2. The full galleries are provided at Leica CL Gallery & Panasonic GF2 Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to factor its weight and size. The Leica CL provides exterior measurements of 131mm x 78mm x 45mm (5.2" x 3.1" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 403 grams (0.89 lbs) while the Panasonic GF2 has specifications of 113mm x 68mm x 33mm (4.4" x 2.7" x 1.3") and a weight of 310 grams (0.68 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have attached at that moment. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the CL compared to the GF2.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the CL and GF2 is 82 and 88 respectively.

Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below might give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the CL and GF2.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The CL having a larger sensor will make achieving bokeh simpler and the Leica CL will offer you extra detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent CL will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
