Leica C vs Samsung WB700 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The picture below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the C and WB700.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The C having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Samsung WB700 will give greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer C should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
