Canon D10 vs Leica C Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing just by reading a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the D10 and C.
As you can see, each of these cameras provide the same megapixels albeit different sensor sizing. The D10 has got the tinier sensor which should make obtaining shallower depth of field harder. The older D10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
