Leica SL vs Panasonic G100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes merely by looking at specs. The pic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL and G100.
All in all, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SL using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Leica SL will give more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged SL is going to be behind in sensor tech.
