The M Typ 240 was released 10 years prior to the GH6 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Leica M Typ 240 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GH6 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the M Typ 240 scores against the GH6 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by going through a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the M Typ 240 and GH6.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M Typ 240 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Panasonic GH6 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older M Typ 240 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
