Canon SX730 HS vs Leica C

Below is a extended comparison of the Canon SX730 HS and Leica C, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Canon and Leica. There is a substantial difference between the sensor resolutions of the SX730 HS (20.3MP) and C (12MP) and the SX730 HS (1/2.3") and C (1/1.7") posses totally different sensor measurements.

The SX730 HS was introduced 3 years later than the C and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the SX730 HS scores against the C with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX730 HS & Leica C. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX730 HS Gallery & Leica C Gallery.

For those who are aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you are going to need to take into account its weight and proportions.

Remember, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you select at that time. Underneath is a front view measurement comparison of the SX730 HS vs the C.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the SX730 HS and C is 88 and 92 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX730 HS and C.

As you can see, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX730 HS using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX730 HS will offer extra detail using its extra 8.3MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher SX730 HS will have an edge in sensor technology.
