Leica D-Lux 6 vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison
Usually, it can be hard to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the D-Lux 6 and WB50F.
Clearly, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D-Lux 6 due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB50F will resolve greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged D-Lux 6 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
