Pentax 17 Pre-Orders Outperform Expectations by a Landslide Leica C vs Olympus FE-4030 Overview
Lets look more closely at the Leica C vs Olympus FE-4030, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by competitors Leica and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the C (12MP) and the FE-4030 (14MP) is fairly similar but the C (1/1.7") and FE-4030 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor size.
Photography GlossaryThe C was introduced 3 years later than the FE-4030 and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).
Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the C grades against the FE-4030 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Leica C vs Olympus FE-4030 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing only by reviewing technical specs. The visual underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the C and FE-4030.
As you can tell, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The C with its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Olympus FE-4030 will deliver extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger C is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
