The TL2 was revealed 2 years later than the GM5 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise summation of how the TL2 scores vs the GM5 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica TL2 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM5. The full galleries are viewable at Leica TL2 Gallery and Panasonic GM5 Gallery.

Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by checking specifications. The visual here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL2 and GM5.

To sum up, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The TL2 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Leica TL2 will give extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent TL2 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
