Fujifilm XP200 vs Leica V-Lux 20

The following is a thorough assessment of the Fujifilm XP200 versus Leica V-Lux 20, one is a Waterproof and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers FujiFilm and Leica. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm XP200 (16MP) and V-Lux 20 (12MP) but they use the same exact sensor sizes (1/2.3").

Typically, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The pic below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm XP200 and V-Lux 20.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Fujifilm XP200 to give you extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm XP200 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
