Leica C vs Olympus 9000

Here, we are looking at the Leica C and Olympus 9000, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by manufacturers Leica and Olympus. The image resolution of the C (12MP) and the 9000 (12MP) is very comparable but the C (1/1.7") and 9000 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor sizing.

The C was released 4 years later than the 9000 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a full comparison, here is a brief overview of how the C scores against the 9000 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica C and Olympus Stylus 9000. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica C Gallery and Olympus 9000 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry your camera often, you'll have to take into account its weight and size. The Leica C provides outside measurements of 103mm x 63mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.1") and a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs) while the Olympus 9000 has specifications of 96mm x 60mm x 31mm (3.8" x 2.4" x 1.2") along with a weight of 225 grams (0.50 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are using at that moment. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the C vs the 9000.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the C and 9000 is 92 and 92 respectively.

Generally, it can be hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizing just by seeing technical specs. The photograph below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the C and 9000.

As you have seen, both cameras feature the identical resolution but not the same sensor sizing. The C features the larger sensor which will make obtaining bokeh easier. The more modern C will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
