Canon N100 vs Leica SL2-S Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions merely by looking at technical specs. The pic below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the N100 and SL2-S.

As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The N100 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Leica SL2-S will give you extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged N100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
