The C was launched 2 years later than the FH27 and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a thorough comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the C matches up vs the FH27 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica C and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica C Gallery and Panasonic FH27 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to consider its weight and proportions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are working with at that moment. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the C vs the FH27.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the C and FH27 is 92 and 94 respectively.

Often, its difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by reviewing technical specs. The visual below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the C and FH27.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic FH27 will offer you more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images much more aggressively. The fresher C provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
