Leica SL2-S vs Pentax W60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its tough to envision the difference in sensor dimensions simply by seeing technical specs. The pic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL2-S and W60.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SL2-S due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Leica SL2-S will produce greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger SL2-S is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
