The TL was announced 3 years before the A6400 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple summary of how the TL grades versus the A6400 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica TL and Sony Alpha a6400. The whole galleries are provided at Leica TL Gallery and Sony A6400 Gallery.

Normally, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The picture underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL and A6400.

As you can see, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony A6400 to offer you extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged TL is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
