Fujifilm HS35EXR vs Leica V-Lux 5 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The picture underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm HS35EXR and V-Lux 5.

Clearly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm HS35EXR with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Leica V-Lux 5 will give you extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm HS35EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
