Leica V-Lux 5 vs Sony H400

Lets examine more closely at the Leica V-Lux 5 and Sony H400, one being a Large Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Leica and Sony. The resolution of the V-Lux 5 (20MP) and the H400 (20MP) is fairly similar but the V-Lux 5 (1") and H400 (1/2.3") possess totally different sensor measurements.

The V-Lux 5 was introduced 6 years later than the H400 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the V-Lux 5 matches up against the H400 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica V-Lux 5 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica V-Lux 5 Gallery and Sony H400 Gallery.

When you are aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you are going to need to think about its weight and proportions.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you use at that time. Underneath is the front view dimension comparison of the V-Lux 5 and the H400.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the V-Lux 5 and H400 is 55 and 62 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading specs. The photograph here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the V-Lux 5 and H400.

All in all, both the cameras have got the exact same megapixels but not the same sensor measurements. The V-Lux 5 has got the larger sensor which is going to make getting bokeh easier. The younger V-Lux 5 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
