Canon SX200 IS vs Leica C Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements only by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX200 IS and C.
As you can see, the 2 cameras provide the same resolution albeit different sensor measurements. The SX200 IS contains the smaller sensor which should make getting shallow DOF more difficult. The older SX200 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
