Casio EX-H15 vs Leica C Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H15 and C.

As you can see, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H15 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-H15 will offer you extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
