Canon A2300 vs Leica C

Following is a complete overview of the Canon A2300 versus Leica C, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by brands Canon and Leica. There is a large difference among the resolutions of the A2300 (16MP) and C (12MP) and the A2300 (1/2.3") and C (1/1.7") use different sensor measurements.

The A2300 was manufactured 19 months earlier than the C making the cameras a generation away from each other. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the A2300 scores versus the C in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot A2300 & Leica C. The entire galleries are available at Canon A2300 Gallery & Leica C Gallery.

If you are going to carry around your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and measurements. The Canon A2300 features outside measurements of 95mm x 54mm x 20mm (3.7" x 2.1" x 0.8") and a weight of 125 grams (0.28 lbs) while the Leica C has proportions of 103mm x 63mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.1") accompanied by a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are using at that time. Here is the front view proportions comparison of the A2300 versus the C.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the A2300 and C is 96 and 92 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's hard to picture the difference in sensor sizes purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2300 and C.

Clearly, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The A2300 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon A2300 will produce extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged A2300 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
