Leica C vs Samsung HZ35W Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes just by looking through technical specs. The picture underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the C and HZ35W.
As you can tell, both cameras come with the identical MP but not the same sensor sizes. The C uses the larger sensor which will make obtaining shallower DOF less difficult. The more modern C will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
