Leica SL2 with Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH5 Overview


Let's compare Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH5 with Leica SL2. These models are included in the Pro Mirrorless cameras. Panasonic GH5 was released in 2017, and Leica SL2 in 2019. SL2 is newer, which is a plus. Lumix DMC-GH5 2 years older.
The sensor resolution of SL2 is greater than that of Lumix DMC-GH5. The difference of 27 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 (Lumix DMC-GH5), 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 SL2, the maximum ISO is greater by 24400. Both cameras have 5-axis Sensor-shift image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch articulated screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. Viewfinder SL2 has a higher resolution of 5760k dots, Lumix DMC-GH5 has a resolution of 3680k dots. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH5 has 20.0 fps continuous shooting.
