Leica D-Lux 6 vs Olympus 7000

Let's examine more in depth at the Leica D-Lux 6 vs Olympus 7000, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by brands Leica and Olympus. The image resolution of the D-Lux 6 (10MP) and the 7000 (12MP) is very comparable but the D-Lux 6 (1/1.7") and 7000 (1/2.3") use totally different sensor sizing.

The D-Lux 6 was revealed 3 years after the 7000 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a detailed comparison, below is a short highlight of how the D-Lux 6 grades versus the 7000 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica D-Lux 6 and Olympus Stylus 7000. The full galleries are provided at Leica D-Lux 6 Gallery and Olympus 7000 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry around your camera frequently, you need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Leica D-Lux 6 has got exterior dimensions of 111mm x 68mm x 46mm (4.4" x 2.7" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 298 grams (0.66 lbs) whilst the Olympus 7000 has proportions of 96mm x 56mm x 25mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 1.0") with a weight of 172 grams (0.38 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Following is the front view size comparison of the D-Lux 6 against the 7000.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D-Lux 6 and 7000 is 86 and 94 respectively.

Quite often, it can be difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by checking out technical specs. The picture below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the D-Lux 6 and 7000.

As you can tell, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The D-Lux 6 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus 7000 will produce more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The younger D-Lux 6 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
