The SL2 was revealed 7 years after the GH3 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going straight into a thorough comparison, below is a brief summation of how the SL2 grades vs the GH3 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica SL2 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3. The full galleries are viewable at Leica SL2 Gallery & Panasonic GH3 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry around your camera regularly, you'll have to consider its weight and size.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you choose during that time. Following is the front view sizing comparison of the SL2 vs the GH3.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SL2 and GH3 is 57 and 66 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing specs. The pic below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SL2 and GH3.

All in all, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SL2 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Leica SL2 will provide extra detail because of its extra 31MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SL2 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
