Leica C-Lux vs Olympus SP-810 UZ

Let's look much closer at the Leica C-Lux versus Olympus SP-810 UZ, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Leica and Olympus. There is a significant difference between the resolutions of the C-Lux (20MP) and SP-810 UZ (14MP) and the C-Lux (1") and SP-810 UZ (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor measurements.

All in all, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The C-Lux featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Leica C-Lux will offer you extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer C-Lux is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
