Casio EX-ZR15 vs Leica D-Lux 6 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The pic below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR15 and D-Lux 6.
Clearly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR15 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Casio EX-ZR15 will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR15 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
