The TL2 was manufactured 6 years after the NX100 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief summary of how the TL2 grades versus the NX100 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Often, its hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes merely by going through technical specs. The image here should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TL2 and NX100.

As you can tell, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Leica TL2 to produce greater detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer TL2 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
