Casio EX-FC100 vs Leica C

Its time to take a more detailed look at the Casio EX-FC100 and Leica C, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by brands Casio and Leica. There exists a significant gap between the image resolutions of the EX-FC100 (9MP) and C (12MP) and the EX-FC100 (1/2.3") and C (1/1.7") offer different sensor sizes.

The EX-FC100 was unveiled 5 years earlier than the C which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving right into a complete comparison, here is a brief view of how the EX-FC100 matches up against the C when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and Leica C. The full galleries are available at Casio EX-FC100 Gallery and Leica C Gallery.

When you are planning to travel with your camera, you'll need to factor its weight and size. The Casio EX-FC100 has got outside measurements of 100mm x 59mm x 23mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 0.9") along with a weight of 156 grams (0.34 lbs) while the Leica C has specifications of 103mm x 63mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.1") having a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are using at the time. Here is a front view dimensions comparison of the EX-FC100 and the C.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the EX-FC100 and C is 94 and 92 respectively.

Typically, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC100 and C.

As you can see, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FC100 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Leica C will give you extra detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC100 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
