The A810 was introduced 19 months earlier than the C making the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a complete comparison, below is a simple summation of how the A810 scores against the C with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot A810 and Leica C. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon A810 Gallery and Leica C Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry your camera often, you are going to need to factor its weight and volume.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you select at that moment. Below is the front view sizing comparison of the A810 versus the C.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the A810 and C is 93 and 92 respectively.

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading technical specs. The graphic here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the A810 and C.

As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The A810 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon A810 will deliver extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older A810 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
