Leica V-Lux 20 vs Pentax WG-10

The following is a comprehensive review of the Leica V-Lux 20 versus Pentax WG-10, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Waterproof by companies Leica and Pentax. The resolution of the V-Lux 20 (12MP) and the WG-10 (14MP) is pretty well matched and they use the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The V-Lux 20 was manufactured 4 years earlier than the WG-10 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief overview of how the V-Lux 20 grades against the WG-10 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica V-Lux 20 and Pentax WG-10. The entire galleries are provided at Leica V-Lux 20 Gallery and Pentax WG-10 Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor in its weight and proportions. The Leica V-Lux 20 offers physical measurements of 103mm x 60mm x 33mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.3") and a weight of 218 grams (0.48 lbs) whilst the Pentax WG-10 has measurements of 116mm x 59mm x 29mm (4.6" x 2.3" x 1.1") along with a weight of 167 grams (0.37 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you choose at that time. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the V-Lux 20 and the WG-10.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the V-Lux 20 and WG-10 is 91 and 93 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through a spec sheet. The image below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 20 and WG-10.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should expect the Pentax WG-10 to give extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 20 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
