Leica C vs Nikon P330

Lets look more closely at the Leica C vs Nikon P330, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by competitors Leica and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the C (12MP) and the P330 (12MP) is very comparable and they come with the exact same sensor dimensions (1/1.7").

The C was announced 7 months later than the P330 and they are both of a similar age. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a short summary of how the C scores vs the P330 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica C & Nikon Coolpix P330. The whole galleries are available at Leica C Gallery & Nikon P330 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry your camera regularly, you will need to factor in its weight and proportions. The Leica C has outside dimensions of 103mm x 63mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.1") along with a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs) and the Nikon P330 has measurements of 103mm x 58mm x 32mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.3") and a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you have attached at that moment. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the C versus the P330.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the C and P330 is 92 and 92 respectively.

Usually, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing merely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the C and P330.

Clearly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements and the exact same megapixels and you can expect comparable quality of images but you might want to consider the age of the cameras into account. The more modern C is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
