The SL2 was introduced 10 years after the GH1 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the SL2 grades vs the GH1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica SL2 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1. The whole galleries are available at Leica SL2 Gallery and Panasonic GH1 Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera often, you should factor in its weight and size.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are using during that time. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the SL2 compared to the GH1.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SL2 and GH1 is 57 and 81 respectively.

Quite often, it's difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions merely by checking out technical specs. The pic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL2 and GH1.

As you can tell, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SL2 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Leica SL2 will show extra detail using its extra 35 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more recent SL2 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
