Leica SL vs Panasonic GH6

Below, we are matching up the Leica SL and Panasonic GH6, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Leica and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the SL (24MP) and the GH6 (25MP) is very well matched but the SL (Full frame) and GH6 (Four Thirds) enjoy different sensor sizing.

The SL was released 7 years earlier than the GH6 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go through a full comparison, below is a brief summation of how the SL grades against the GH6 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica SL and Panasonic Lumix DC-GH6. The complete galleries are provided at Leica SL Gallery and Panasonic GH6 Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry around your camera often, you're going to have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Leica SL has exterior measurements of 147mm x 104mm x 39mm (5.8" x 4.1" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 847 grams (1.87 lbs) while the Panasonic GH6 has measurements of 139mm x 100mm x 100mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.9") with a weight of 823 grams (1.81 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you choose during that time. The following is the front view overall size comparison of the SL and the GH6.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the SL and GH6 is 67 and 56 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes simply by looking at specifications. The image here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL and GH6.

Plainly, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SL featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic GH6 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged SL is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
