The C was announced 21 months later than the SP-620 UZ which makes them a generation apart from one another. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving into a full comparison, here is a simple overview of how the C matches up against the SP-620 UZ in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica C and Olympus SP-620 UZ. The whole galleries are provided at Leica C Gallery and Olympus SP-620 UZ Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to lug around your camera regularly, you are going to need to factor its weight and measurements.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are employing at that time. Underneath is a front view physical size comparison of the C and the SP-620 UZ.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the C and SP-620 UZ is 92 and 78 respectively.

Normally, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The graphic underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the C and SP-620 UZ.

Plainly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The C using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus SP-620 UZ will provide extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures more aggressively. The more modern C provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
