The sensor resolution of TL is greater than that of R-D1. The difference of 10 MP is quite a lot. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the first camera (R-D1), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Leica TL, the maximum ISO is greater by 10900. Leica TL has a larger 3-inch Fixed screen, the other camera has a 2-inch Fixed screen.
