FujiFilm HS10 vs Leica M10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through technical specs. The picture here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS10 and M10.

As you can tell, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The HS10 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Leica M10 will give you extra detail because of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
