Leica C vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over specifications. The picture here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the C and Quattro H.

Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The C featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will deliver extra detail due to its extra 33 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged C is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
