The V-Lux 2 was announced 3 years before the H200 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before we go into a complete comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the V-Lux 2 matches up vs the H200 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica V-Lux 2 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica V-Lux 2 Gallery and Sony H200 Gallery.

If you're planning to travel with your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions.

Often, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by researching technical specs. The picture here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the V-Lux 2 and H200.

As you can tell, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony H200 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 2 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
