Casio EX-ZR15 vs Leica D-LUX 5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes just by researching technical specs. The image here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR15 and D-LUX 5.
As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR15 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Casio EX-ZR15 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more recent EX-ZR15 should have an edge in sensor technology.
