Leica TL vs Sony A6000

Its time to look more closely at the Leica TL versus Sony A6000, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Leica and Sony. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the TL (16MP) and A6000 (24MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The TL was introduced 2 years after the A6000 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the TL scores versus the A6000 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica TL and Sony Alpha a6000. The whole galleries are available at Leica TL Gallery and Sony A6000 Gallery.

If you're going to travel with your camera, you will need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Leica TL has outside 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) whilst the Sony A6000 has measurements of 120mm x 67mm x 45mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.8") with a weight of 344 grams (0.76 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the TL compared to the A6000.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the TL and A6000 is 85 and 85 respectively.

Typically, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The picture below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL and A6000.

As you have seen, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should anticipate the Sony A6000 to give you greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger TL should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
