Leica V-Lux 20 vs Sony HX350

Let's take a deeper look at the Leica V-Lux 20 versus Sony HX350, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by rivals Leica and Sony. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the V-Lux 20 (12MP) and HX350 (20MP) but both cameras have the same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The V-Lux 20 was released 7 years prior to the HX350 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Leica V-Lux 20 being a Compact camera and the Sony HX350 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a brief overview of how the V-Lux 20 grades versus the HX350 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For those who are going to lug around your camera often, you should think about its weight and measurements. The Leica V-Lux 20 provides exterior measurements of 103mm x 60mm x 33mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.3") having a weight of 218 grams (0.48 lbs) whilst the Sony HX350 has proportions of 130mm x 93mm x 103mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 4.1") having a weight of 652 grams (1.44 lbs).

Generally, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out specs. The visual underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the V-Lux 20 and HX350.

All in all, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony HX350 to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older V-Lux 20 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
