Canon A495 vs Leica T Type 701 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through specs. The photograph here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A495 and T Type 701.

All in all, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A495 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Leica T Type 701 will give you more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older A495 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
