Leica TL vs Panasonic G95 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The image here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the TL and G95.

As you can tell, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The TL having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic G95 will resolve more detail using its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged TL is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
