Leica M11 vs Panasonic GM1

The following is a in-depth overview of the Leica M11 vs Panasonic GM1, former is a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Leica and Panasonic. There exists a sizable gap between the image resolutions of the M11 (60MP) and GM1 (16MP) and the M11 (Full frame) and GM1 (Four Thirds) posses totally different sensor sizes.

The M11 was released 8 years after the GM1 which is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the M11 grades versus the GM1 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M11 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1. The complete galleries are provided at Leica M11 Gallery & Panasonic GM1 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to travel with your camera frequently, you need to factor its weight and measurements. The Leica M11 enjoys outside measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) and the Panasonic GM1 has proportions of 99mm x 55mm x 30mm (3.9" x 2.2" x 1.2") accompanied by a weight of 204 grams (0.45 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you choose at that moment. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the M11 against the GM1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M11 and GM1 is 76 and 93 respectively.

Sometimes, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by looking at technical specs. The pic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M11 and GM1.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M11 featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Leica M11 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 44 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger M11 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
