The V-Lux 20 was brought out 3 years before the H200 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Leica V-Lux 20 being a Compact camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving in to a full comparison, below is a short summary of how the V-Lux 20 scores versus the H200 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica V-Lux 20 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica V-Lux 20 Gallery and Sony H200 Gallery.

Often, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading specifications. The photograph here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the V-Lux 20 and H200.

Plainly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony H200 to offer extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older V-Lux 20 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
