The TL was brought out 7 years before the A6700 which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short highlight of how the TL matches up versus the A6700 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica TL & Sony Alpha a6700. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica TL Gallery & Sony A6700 Gallery.

Usually, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The picture here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the TL and A6700.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can count on the Sony A6700 to provide you with greater detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TL will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
