Leica X (Typ 113) vs Sony RX1R II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizes purely by going through specs. The picture here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the X (Typ 113) and RX1R II.
All in all, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X (Typ 113) having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony RX1R II will produce extra detail using its extra 26 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged X (Typ 113) will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
