Canon G5 X vs Leica X (Typ 113) Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it's difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by checking out specifications. The picture here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the G5 X and X (Typ 113).
Plainly, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G5 X due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon G5 X will provide greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more recent G5 X should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
