Kodak M575 vs Leica X Vario Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizes purely by looking through technical specs. The picture below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M575 and X Vario.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M575 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Leica X Vario will render extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M575 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
