Leica C vs Olympus FE-5020 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading through a spec sheet. The picture underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the C and FE-5020.
Clearly, both of those cameras offer the same exact megapixel count but different sensor sizes. The C uses the larger sensor which is going to make obtaining shallow depth of field easier. The more recent C should have an edge in sensor tech.
