Canon N100 vs Leica V-Lux 30

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon N100 and Leica V-Lux 30, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Canon and Leica. The image resolution of the N100 (12MP) and the V-Lux 30 (14MP) is pretty well matched but the N100 (1/1.7") and V-Lux 30 (1/2.3") have totally different sensor size.

The N100 was manufactured 2 years later than the V-Lux 30 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before diving right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief overview of how the N100 grades vs the V-Lux 30 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot N100 and Leica V-Lux 30. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon N100 Gallery and Leica V-Lux 30 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you have to factor its weight and volume. The Canon N100 enjoys physical measurements of 105mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.1" x 2.7" x 1.4") and a weight of 289 grams (0.64 lbs) whilst the Leica V-Lux 30 has sizing of 105mm x 58mm x 43mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.7") having a weight of 219 grams (0.48 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you select during that time. The following is a front view over all size comparison of the N100 compared to the V-Lux 30.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the N100 and V-Lux 30 is 89 and 90 respectively.

In many cases, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at technical specs. The photograph underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the N100 and V-Lux 30.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The N100 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica V-Lux 30 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The fresher N100 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
