Canon SX700 HS vs Leica C Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is tough to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions just by seeing specifications. The image here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX700 HS and C.
Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX700 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Canon SX700 HS will provide extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively.
