Leica D-Lux 7 vs Leica X (Typ 113)

Let's look more closely at the Leica D-Lux 7 versus Leica X (Typ 113), both Large Sensor Compact cameras and both are designed by Leica. The resolution of the D-Lux 7 (17MP) and the X (Typ 113) (16MP) is fairly comparable but the D-Lux 7 (Four Thirds) and X (Typ 113) (APS-C) come with different sensor sizing.

The D-Lux 7 was released 4 years later than the X (Typ 113) and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before going in to a thorough comparison, below is a quick summation of how the D-Lux 7 grades against the X (Typ 113) in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica D-Lux 7 & Leica X. The complete galleries are available at Leica D-Lux 7 Gallery & Leica X (Typ 113) Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera, you will have to factor its weight and measurements. The Leica D-Lux 7 features outside measurements of 118mm x 66mm x 64mm (4.6" x 2.6" x 2.5") with a weight of 403 grams (0.89 lbs) while the Leica X (Typ 113) has proportions of 133mm x 73mm x 78mm (5.2" x 2.9" x 3.1") having a weight of 486 grams (1.07 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you choose during that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the D-Lux 7 and the X (Typ 113).

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the D-Lux 7 and X (Typ 113) is 81 and 71 respectively.

Generally, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing simply by going through specs. The graphic underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the D-Lux 7 and X (Typ 113).

All in all, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The D-Lux 7 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Leica D-Lux 7 will provide more detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more modern D-Lux 7 provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
