Casio EX-Z90 vs Leica D-LUX 5

Below is a in depth overview of the Casio EX-Z90 versus Leica D-LUX 5, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by competitors Casio and Leica. The image resolution of the EX-Z90 (12MP) and the D-LUX 5 (10MP) is relatively comparable but the EX-Z90 (1/2.3") and D-LUX 5 (1/1.63") provide totally different sensor size.

The EX-Z90 was manufactured 13 months earlier than the D-LUX 5 which makes them a generation apart from one another. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going right into a more detailed comparison, here is a short view of how the EX-Z90 scores vs the D-LUX 5 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Casio Exilim EX-Z90 and Leica D-LUX 5. The entire galleries are provided at Casio EX-Z90 Gallery and Leica D-LUX 5 Gallery.

When you are aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you should think about its weight and proportions. The Casio EX-Z90 enjoys outside measurements of 90mm x 52mm x 19mm (3.5" x 2.0" x 0.7") accompanied by a weight of 121 grams (0.27 lbs) while the Leica D-LUX 5 has measurements of 110mm x 66mm x 43mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.7") and a weight of 271 grams (0.60 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the EX-Z90 compared to the D-LUX 5.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the EX-Z90 and D-LUX 5 is 96 and 88 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through specs. The photograph here will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z90 and D-LUX 5.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z90 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Casio EX-Z90 will provide more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older EX-Z90 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
