Leica SL2-S vs Panasonic G95 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Often, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by viewing specs. The graphic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SL2-S and G95.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SL2-S due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Leica SL2-S will render more detail utilizing its extra 3.7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger SL2-S provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
