Fujifilm Real 3D W1 vs Leica X Vario Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and X Vario.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm Real 3D W1 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Leica X Vario will give extra detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Real 3D W1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
