Canon G7 X MII vs Leica X Vario

Let's look more closely at the Canon G7 X MII versus Leica X Vario, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by competitors Canon and Leica. There is a crucial difference among the resolutions of the G7 X MII (20MP) and X Vario (16MP) and the G7 X MII (1") and X Vario (APS-C) have totally different sensor measurements.

Oftentimes, it is hard to envision the difference in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the G7 X MII and X Vario.

Clearly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G7 X MII with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon G7 X MII will render greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The younger G7 X MII is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
