Kodak M530 vs Leica C Overview

Lets look a little more in depth at the Kodak M530 and Leica C, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Kodak and Leica. The resolution of the M530 (12MP) and the C (12MP) is fairly close but the M530 (1/2.3") and C (1/1.7") boast totally different sensor dimensions.

The M530 was released 4 years prior to the C and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before getting straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the M530 matches up against the C in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Kodak M530 vs Leica C Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing just by looking through specs. The visual here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the M530 and C.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras provide the same megapixels but not the same sensor sizing. The M530 has got the smaller sensor which should make obtaining shallow DOF tougher. The older M530 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
