Leica T Type 701 vs Panasonic TS4

Here, we will be contrasting the Leica T Type 701 versus Panasonic TS4, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the latter is a Waterproof by manufacturers Leica and Panasonic. There exists a noticeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the T Type 701 (16MP) and TS4 (12MP) and the T Type 701 (APS-C) and TS4 (1/2.3") provide different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The T Type 701 was unveiled 2 years later than the TS4 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Leica T Type 701 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic TS4 being a Compact camera.

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the T Type 701 matches up against the TS4 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Following is a front view proportions comparison of the T Type 701 versus the TS4.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the T Type 701 and TS4 is 85 and 92 respectively.

Normally, its hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The graphic here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the T Type 701 and TS4.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The T Type 701 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica T Type 701 will provide more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer T Type 701 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
