Leica D-LUX 5 vs Nikon P340 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it's difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing only by reviewing specs. The visual here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the D-LUX 5 and P340.
All in all, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The D-LUX 5 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon P340 will deliver greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older D-LUX 5 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
