Canon A2500 vs Leica C-Lux Sensor Comparison
Usually, it's difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements purely by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A2500 and C-Lux.
Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A2500 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Leica C-Lux will result in extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older A2500 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
