Leica T Type 701 vs Panasonic GF1

The following is a complete assessment of the Leica T Type 701 versus Panasonic GF1, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Leica and Panasonic. There exists a sizeable gap between the resolutions of the T Type 701 (16MP) and GF1 (12MP) and the T Type 701 (APS-C) and GF1 (Four Thirds) offer different sensor measurements.

The T Type 701 was manufactured 4 years after the GF1 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a short overview of how the T Type 701 matches up vs the GF1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you select during that time. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the T Type 701 vs the GF1.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the T Type 701 and GF1 is 85 and 85 respectively.

Typically, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by checking specs. The picture here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the T Type 701 and GF1.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The T Type 701 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica T Type 701 will give greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The newer T Type 701 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
