The TL2 was released 21 months before the G95 making them a generation apart from each other. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Leica TL2 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a detailed comparison, here is a brief summary of how the TL2 grades vs the G95 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica TL2 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G95. The complete galleries are available at Leica TL2 Gallery & Panasonic G95 Gallery.

For those who are intending to lug around your camera often, you will want to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the TL2 and the G95.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the TL2 and G95 is 85 and 67 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by seeing technical specs. The visual underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL2 and G95.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The TL2 because of its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Leica TL2 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 3.7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older TL2 will be behind in sensor tech.
