The TL was released 2 years later than the 1 V3 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight into a complete comparison, below is a quick overview of how the TL scores vs the 1 V3 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica TL and Nikon 1 V3. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica TL Gallery and Nikon 1 V3 Gallery.

In case you're going to lug around your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor in its weight and volume.

Generally, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL and 1 V3.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The TL featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon 1 V3 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger TL is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
