Canon G7 X MII vs Leica D-Lux Typ 109

Below is a in-depth analysis of the Canon G7 X MII vs Leica D-Lux Typ 109, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Canon and Leica. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the G7 X MII (20MP) and D-Lux Typ 109 (13MP) and the G7 X MII (1") and D-Lux Typ 109 (Four Thirds) come with totally different sensor measurements.

The G7 X MII was released 18 months later than the D-Lux Typ 109 which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a concise view of how the G7 X MII matches up vs the D-Lux Typ 109 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II and Leica D-Lux Typ 109. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon G7 X MII Gallery and Leica D-Lux Typ 109 Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera, you will have to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon G7 X MII has got outer measurements of 106mm x 61mm x 42mm (4.2" x 2.4" x 1.7") accompanied by a weight of 319 grams (0.70 lbs) and the Leica D-Lux Typ 109 has measurements of 118mm x 66mm x 55mm (4.6" x 2.6" x 2.2") having a weight of 405 grams (0.89 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is the front view measurements comparison of the G7 X MII vs the D-Lux Typ 109.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the G7 X MII and D-Lux Typ 109 is 88 and 82 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by researching specs. The graphic below will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 X MII and D-Lux Typ 109.

All in all, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G7 X MII because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Canon G7 X MII will render more detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The fresher G7 X MII is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
