Leica C-Lux vs Panasonic LX10 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes only by looking through specifications. The pic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the C-Lux and LX10.
Plainly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing and the exact same megapixels and you should expect comparable quality of photographs but you would want to take the production date of the cameras into account. The fresher C-Lux should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
