Leica SL2-S vs Panasonic G7

Below, we are reviewing the Leica SL2-S versus Panasonic G7, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Leica and Panasonic. There is a considerable difference among the sensor resolutions of the SL2-S (24MP) and G7 (16MP) and the SL2-S (Full frame) and G7 (Four Thirds) enjoy totally different sensor sizing.

The SL2-S was released 5 years later than the G7 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a in depth comparison, below is a simple summary of how the SL2-S scores versus the G7 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica SL2-S & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7. The complete galleries are available at Leica SL2-S Gallery & Panasonic G7 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to carry your camera regularly, you are going to need to factor in its weight and measurements. The Leica SL2-S provides physical dimensions of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") and a weight of 931 grams (2.05 lbs) and the Panasonic G7 has proportions of 125mm x 86mm x 77mm (4.9" x 3.4" x 3.0") and a weight of 410 grams (0.90 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are working with at that moment. Below is the front view overall size comparison of the SL2-S and the G7.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the SL2-S and G7 is 55 and 71 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's hard to see the gap in sensor sizing just by viewing technical specs. The photograph here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SL2-S and G7.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SL2-S because of its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Leica SL2-S will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern SL2-S is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
