Leica C vs Ricoh G700SE

Below, we will be looking at the Leica C vs Ricoh G700SE, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Waterproof by brands Leica and Ricoh. The sensor resolution of the C (12MP) and the G700SE (12MP) is relatively well matched but the C (1/1.7") and G700SE (1/2.3") come with different sensor dimensions.

The C was manufactured 2 years later than the G700SE and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting through a thorough comparison, below is a short introduction of how the C matches up against the G700SE when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica C and Ricoh G700SE. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica C Gallery and Ricoh G700SE Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to carry your camera frequently, you will need to consider its weight and volume. The Leica C provides outer dimensions 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 Ricoh G700SE has sizing of 117mm x 68mm x 32mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.3") and a weight of 307 grams (0.68 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have at the time. The following is the front view dimensions comparison of the C vs the G700SE.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the C and G700SE is 92 and 88 respectively.

More often than not, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing just by reading through specifications. The visual here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the C and G700SE.

Plainly, both of the cameras have got the exact same megapixel count albeit different sensor sizing. The C provides the bigger sensor which should make obtaining shallower depth of field simpler. The more modern C should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
