Let's examine more in depth at the Leica SL2 versus Panasonic G10, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by brands Leica and Panasonic. There is a huge difference among the sensor resolutions of the SL2 (47MP) and G10 (12MP) and the SL2 (Full frame) and G10 (Four Thirds) use different sensor sizes.

The SL2 was introduced 9 years after the G10 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a short summary of how the SL2 matches up versus the G10 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica SL2 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The whole galleries are available at Leica SL2 Gallery and Panasonic G10 Gallery.

If you're intending to carry around your camera frequently, you are going to need to take into account its weight and size.

In many cases, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes just by looking through specifications. The pic underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL2 and G10.

To sum up, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SL2 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Leica SL2 will provide you with extra detail using its extra 35MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent SL2 provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
