Canon 600D vs Leica M Typ 240 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 600D and M Typ 240.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 600D using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Leica M Typ 240 will resolve extra detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 600D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
