Canon SX740 HS vs Leica C

Below is a thorough review of the Canon SX740 HS vs Leica C, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Leica. There is a large difference between the sensor resolutions of the SX740 HS (21MP) and C (12MP) and the SX740 HS (1/2.3") and C (1/1.7") provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The SX740 HS was introduced 4 years later than the C and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a concise summary of how the SX740 HS grades against the C with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX740 HS & Leica C. The whole galleries are available at Canon SX740 HS Gallery & Leica C Gallery.

In case you're aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you should think about its weight and volume.

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you choose at that moment. The following is a front view over all size comparison of the SX740 HS compared to the C.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the SX740 HS and C is 88 and 92 respectively.

Generally, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking specs. The visual here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX740 HS and C.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX740 HS using its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Canon SX740 HS will give greater detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more modern SX740 HS is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
