Leica M9-P vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing just by looking through specifications. The visual underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M9-P and ZV-E10.
Plainly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M9-P featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony ZV-E10 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older M9-P will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
