Canon G1 X II vs Leica X (Typ 113)

On this page, we will be analyzing the Canon G1 X II versus Leica X (Typ 113), both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by competitors Canon and Leica. The resolution of the G1 X II (13MP) and the X (Typ 113) (16MP) is pretty well matched but the G1 X II (1.5") and X (Typ 113) (APS-C) offer totally different sensor size.

The G1 X II was announced 7 months prior to the X (Typ 113) which means that they are both of a similar generation. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before going straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the G1 X II scores versus the X (Typ 113) when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II and Leica X. The whole galleries are provided at Canon G1 X II Gallery and Leica X (Typ 113) Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera, you'll need to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon G1 X II comes with outer measurements of 116mm x 74mm x 66mm (4.6" x 2.9" x 2.6") accompanied by a weight of 553 grams (1.22 lbs) while the Leica X (Typ 113) has measurements of 133mm x 73mm x 78mm (5.2" x 2.9" x 3.1") along with a weight of 486 grams (1.07 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have attached at that moment. Underneath is a front view overall size comparison of the G1 X II against the X (Typ 113).

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the G1 X II and X (Typ 113) is 76 and 71 respectively.

Generally, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at technical specs. The photograph below might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the G1 X II and X (Typ 113).

As you have seen, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G1 X II with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Leica X (Typ 113) will resolve greater detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older G1 X II is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
