The C was brought out 4 years after the SL102 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a thorough comparison, below is a short highlight of how the C matches up against the SL102 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica C and Samsung SL102. The entire galleries are provided at Leica C Gallery and Samsung SL102 Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry around your camera, you're going to have to factor in its weight and volume.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use during that time. Following is the front view measurements comparison of the C and the SL102.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the C and SL102 is 92 and 96 respectively.

Usually, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The image underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the C and SL102.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The C featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica C will give you more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer C should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
