Fujifilm Z30 vs Leica C Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through specs. The photograph here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm Z30 and C.
All in all, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm Z30 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Leica C will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Z30 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
