Canon SX620 HS vs Leica C

Below, we will be matching up the Canon SX620 HS versus Leica C, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Canon and Leica. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the SX620 HS (20MP) and C (12MP) and the SX620 HS (1/2.3") and C (1/1.7") possess different sensor dimensions.

The SX620 HS was unveiled 2 years after the C which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go straight into a complete comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the SX620 HS scores vs the C in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX620 HS and Leica C. The full galleries are provided at Canon SX620 HS Gallery and Leica C Gallery.

When you are going to travel with your camera, you have to factor its weight and volume. The Canon SX620 HS has got outside measurements of 97mm x 57mm x 28mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 1.1") along with a weight of 182 grams (0.40 lbs) while the Leica C has sizing of 103mm x 63mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.1") having a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you use during that time. Underneath is the front view overall size comparison of the SX620 HS versus the C.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX620 HS and C is 93 and 92 respectively.

Normally, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX620 HS and C.

Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX620 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Canon SX620 HS will result in greater detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more recent SX620 HS should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
