Canon A2400 IS vs Leica D-Lux 6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic below should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the A2400 IS and D-Lux 6.
As you can see, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The A2400 IS because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Canon A2400 IS will offer you extra detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged A2400 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
