Leica M11 vs Panasonic GH5S

Here, we are contrasting the Leica M11 versus Panasonic GH5S, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Leica and Panasonic. There exists a sizable gap between the sensor resolutions of the M11 (60MP) and GH5S (10MP) and the M11 (Full frame) and GH5S (Four Thirds) have totally different sensor sizing.

The M11 was manufactured 4 years later than the GH5S and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Leica M11 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight to a detailed comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the M11 matches up versus the GH5S for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica M11 & Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S. The entire galleries are provided at Leica M11 Gallery & Panasonic GH5S Gallery.

If you are intending to carry your camera often, you have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Leica M11 has got outside measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) whilst the Panasonic GH5S has dimensions of 139mm x 98mm x 87mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.4") and a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you choose at the time. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the M11 vs the GH5S.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M11 and GH5S is 76 and 62 respectively.

Typically, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading technical specs. The visual below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M11 and GH5S.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M11 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Leica M11 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 50 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent M11 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
