Leica C-Lux vs Samsung ST150F

Lets look more in depth at the Leica C-Lux and Samsung ST150F, one being a Large Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Leica and Samsung. There is a big difference among the sensor resolutions of the C-Lux (20MP) and ST150F (16MP) and the C-Lux (1") and ST150F (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor dimensions.

The C-Lux was introduced 5 years later than the ST150F and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Leica C-Lux being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Samsung ST150F being a Compact camera.

Before getting into a in depth comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the C-Lux scores versus the ST150F with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica C-Lux and Samsung ST150F. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica C-Lux Gallery and Samsung ST150F Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera often, you will have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Often, it's difficult to see the difference in sensor measurements simply by looking through specifications. The visual below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the C-Lux and ST150F.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C-Lux using its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh simpler and the Leica C-Lux will provide you with greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger C-Lux is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
