Leica TL2 vs Sony HX350 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading through technical specs. The image below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TL2 and HX350.

As you have seen, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The TL2 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Leica TL2 will resolve extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger TL2 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
