Casio EX-FH100 vs Leica C

Let's look more closely at the Casio EX-FH100 and Leica C, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Casio and Leica. The sensor resolution of the EX-FH100 (10MP) and the C (12MP) is fairly comparable but the EX-FH100 (1/2.3") and C (1/1.7") offer totally different sensor dimensions.

The EX-FH100 was announced 4 years earlier than the C which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going into a complete comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the EX-FH100 scores versus the C in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Casio Exilim EX-FH100 & Leica C. The whole galleries are available at Casio EX-FH100 Gallery & Leica C Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera often, you have to consider its weight and size. The Casio EX-FH100 features outside measurements of 104mm x 60mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") and a weight of 201 grams (0.44 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 ILC will differ depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the EX-FH100 compared to the C.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the EX-FH100 and C is 92 and 92 respectively.

Generally, it can be difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by going through technical specs. The image here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FH100 and C.

As you can tell, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FH100 with its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Leica C will produce greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-FH100 will be behind in sensor tech.
