Leica T Type 701 vs Panasonic GH2

Its time to take a more detailed look at the Leica T Type 701 versus Panasonic GH2, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by rivals Leica and Panasonic. The image resolution of the T Type 701 (16MP) and the GH2 (16MP) is fairly similar but the T Type 701 (APS-C) and GH2 (Four Thirds) come with different sensor measurements.

Normally, it's hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by going over specs. The pic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the T Type 701 and GH2.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact megapixel count but different sensor dimensions. The T Type 701 comes with the larger sensor which is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult. The more modern T Type 701 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
