Quite often, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading through specs. The picture below will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the A495 and C.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The A495 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Leica C will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged A495 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
