Let's look closer at the Leica C versus Samsung WB150F, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Leica and Samsung. The resolution of the C (12MP) and the WB150F (14MP) is pretty comparable but the C (1/1.7") and WB150F (1/2.3") offer different sensor dimensions.

The C was introduced 21 months later than the WB150F which makes them a generation apart from one another. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a detailed comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the C scores vs the WB150F when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica C and Samsung WB150F. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica C Gallery and Samsung WB150F Gallery.

If you are planning to lug around your camera regularly, you have to factor its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it's tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements merely by going through specs. The photograph underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the C and WB150F.

All in all, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Samsung WB150F will provide greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The younger C should have an advantage in sensor tech.
