Leica SL2-S vs Panasonic G100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing technical specs. The image below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL2-S and G100.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SL2-S due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica SL2-S will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs way more aggressively.
