Canon G1 X III vs Leica C-Lux Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizing just by going over technical specs. The graphic here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the G1 X III and C-Lux.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G1 X III because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon G1 X III will deliver greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older G1 X III is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
