Leica CL vs Panasonic GF7

The following is a in depth assessment of the Leica CL vs Panasonic GF7, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Leica and Panasonic. There is a sizeable difference between the image resolutions of the CL (24MP) and GF7 (16MP) and the CL (APS-C) and GF7 (Four Thirds) have totally different sensor dimensions.

The CL was released 2 years after the GF7 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick summation of how the CL matches up versus the GF7 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica CL and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF7. The complete galleries are provided at Leica CL Gallery and Panasonic GF7 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to travel with your camera often, you'll need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Leica CL comes with outer measurements of 131mm x 78mm x 45mm (5.2" x 3.1" x 1.8") and a weight of 403 grams (0.89 lbs) while the Panasonic GF7 has measurements of 107mm x 65mm x 33mm (4.2" x 2.6" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 266 grams (0.59 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have chosen at the time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the CL compared to the GF7.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the CL and GF7 is 82 and 90 respectively.

Generally, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the CL and GF7.

As you can see, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The CL because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Leica CL will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher CL will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
