Leica X1 vs Panasonic LX10

Following is a in-depth overview of the Leica X1 versus Panasonic LX10, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by companies Leica and Panasonic. There is a large difference among the sensor resolutions of the X1 (12MP) and LX10 (20MP) and the X1 (APS-C) and LX10 (1") have totally different sensor measurements.

The X1 was manufactured 7 years before the LX10 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before delving straight to a thorough comparison, here is a brief summation of how the X1 grades against the LX10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica X1 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10. The entire galleries are available at Leica X1 Gallery & Panasonic LX10 Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry around your camera frequently, you're going to have to take into account its weight and measurements. The Leica X1 offers exterior dimensions of 124mm x 60mm x 32mm (4.9" x 2.4" x 1.3") with a weight of 306 grams (0.67 lbs) whilst the Panasonic LX10 has proportions of 106mm x 60mm x 42mm (4.2" x 2.4" x 1.7") having a weight of 310 grams (0.68 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have attached at that moment. Below is a front view size comparison of the X1 versus the LX10.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the X1 and LX10 is 89 and 88 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes purely by researching specs. The pic here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the X1 and LX10.

All in all, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X1 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic LX10 will provide you with more detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged X1 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
