Leica C-Lux vs Sony A230

Let's look more closely at the Leica C-Lux versus Sony A230, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR by competitors Leica and Sony. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the C-Lux (20MP) and A230 (10MP) and the C-Lux (1") and A230 (APS-C) boast different sensor size.

The C-Lux was manufactured 9 years after the A230 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Leica C-Lux being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony A230 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the C-Lux matches up versus the A230 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Leica C-Lux and Sony Alpha DSLR-A230. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica C-Lux Gallery and Sony A230 Gallery.

When you are aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you'll need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Leica C-Lux enjoys outer measurements of 113mm x 67mm x 46mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 1.8") having a weight of 340 grams (0.75 lbs) while the Sony A230 has proportions of 128mm x 97mm x 68mm (5.0" x 3.8" x 2.7") accompanied by a weight of 490 grams (1.08 lbs).

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the C-Lux and A230 is 85 and 69 respectively.

Often, its difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over specifications. The picture underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the C-Lux and A230.

To sum up, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The C-Lux due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Leica C-Lux will deliver more detail due to its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The younger C-Lux provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
