If you are looking to lug around your camera, you will want to take into account its weight and measurements. The Leica C comes with physical measurements of 103mm x 63mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.1") having a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs) and the Nikon P7100 has proportions of 116mm x 77mm x 48mm (4.6" x 3.0" x 1.9") accompanied by a weight of 395 grams (0.87 lbs).

Leica C vs Nikon P7100 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, its hard to see the difference in sensor measurements simply by looking through technical specs. The visual underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the C and P7100.
As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Leica C to render extra detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent C will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
