Leica TL vs Olympus E-P5

Here, we will be evaluating the Leica TL vs Olympus E-P5, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Leica and Olympus. The image resolution of the TL (16MP) and the E-P5 (16MP) is relatively close but the TL (APS-C) and E-P5 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The TL was launched 3 years after the E-P5 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a complete comparison, here is a short view of how the TL scores vs the E-P5 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica TL & Olympus PEN E-P5. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica TL Gallery & Olympus E-P5 Gallery.

For those who are looking to travel with your camera often, you will have to factor its weight and size. The Leica TL comes with exterior measurements of 134mm x 69mm x 33mm (5.3" x 2.7" x 1.3") along with a weight of 384 grams (0.85 lbs) and the Olympus E-P5 has specifications of 122mm x 69mm x 37mm (4.8" x 2.7" x 1.5") with a weight of 420 grams (0.93 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you have attached during that time. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the TL and the E-P5.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the TL and E-P5 is 85 and 85 respectively.

Sometimes, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching a spec sheet. The picture below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the TL and E-P5.

As you can see, both cameras come with the identical megapixel count albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The TL has the bigger sensor which will make getting shallower depth of field simpler. The more modern TL will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
