Leica SL2 vs Sony A7R V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The pic below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SL2 and A7R V.
As you can see, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can anticipate the Sony A7R V to show greater detail due to its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SL2 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
