Casio EX-ZR15 vs Leica C Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through specs. The graphic here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR15 and C.

All in all, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR15 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-ZR15 will resolve more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX-ZR15 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
