Leica C vs Sony H50

Lets examine more closely at the Leica C versus Sony H50, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Leica and Sony. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the C (12MP) and H50 (9MP) and the C (1/1.7") and H50 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor sizing.

The C was announced 4 years later than the H50 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a brief overview of how the C matches up against the H50 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica C and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50. The whole galleries are provided at Leica C Gallery and Sony H50 Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera, you will have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Leica C features exterior measurements of 103mm x 63mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.1") having a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs) whilst the Sony H50 has dimensions of 116mm x 81mm x 86mm (4.6" x 3.2" x 3.4") accompanied by a weight of 547 grams (1.21 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the C compared to the H50.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the C and H50 is 92 and 69 respectively.

Normally, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at specifications. The photograph underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the C and H50.

To sum up, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C with its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh simpler and the Leica C will give you greater detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more modern C will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
