FujiFilm S2500HD vs Leica V-Lux 2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The image underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S2500HD and V-Lux 2.
Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Leica V-Lux 2 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos far more aggressively.
