Canon SX210 IS vs Leica V-Lux 30 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Oftentimes, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX210 IS and V-Lux 30.
As you can see, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the exact same resolution so you should expect comparable quality of images but you should factor the release date  of the cameras into account. The more aged SX210 IS will be behind in sensor tech.
