Leica T Type 701 vs Panasonic G85

Lets look a little more in depth at the Leica T Type 701 and Panasonic G85, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by rivals Leica and Panasonic. The image resolution of the T Type 701 (16MP) and the G85 (16MP) is very close but the T Type 701 (APS-C) and G85 (Four Thirds) feature different sensor sizing.
