Leica M-E Typ 220 vs Panasonic GX7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions simply by going through specifications. The image here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M-E Typ 220 and GX7.
Plainly, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M-E Typ 220 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Leica M-E Typ 220 will show greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged M-E Typ 220 will be behind in sensor innovation.
