Canon A810 vs Leica D-Lux 6

Below, we are comparing the Canon A810 versus Leica D-Lux 6, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by manufacturers Canon and Leica. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the A810 (16MP) and D-Lux 6 (10MP) and the A810 (1/2.3") and D-Lux 6 (1/1.7") possess different sensor measurements.

The A810 was announced 7 months prior to the D-Lux 6 and they are both of a similar generation. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief summation of how the A810 grades versus the D-Lux 6 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot A810 and Leica D-Lux 6. The whole galleries are available at Canon A810 Gallery and Leica D-Lux 6 Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera regularly, you will want to consider its weight and dimensions. The Canon A810 offers physical measurements of 95mm x 62mm x 30mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 1.2") along with a weight of 171 grams (0.38 lbs) whilst the Leica D-Lux 6 has dimensions of 111mm x 68mm x 46mm (4.4" x 2.7" x 1.8") having a weight of 298 grams (0.66 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you use during that time. Below is the front view measurements comparison of the A810 vs the D-Lux 6.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the A810 and D-Lux 6 is 93 and 86 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing specs. The visual underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the A810 and D-Lux 6.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A810 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon A810 will produce extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older A810 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
