Leica X1 vs Sony ZV-1

Following is a extended overview of the Leica X1 vs Sony ZV-1, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals Leica and Sony. There exists a crucial gap between the resolutions of the X1 (12MP) and ZV-1 (20MP) and the X1 (APS-C) and ZV-1 (1") come with totally different sensor sizes.

The X1 was introduced 11 years prior to the ZV-1 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving through a complete comparison, below is a short summary of how the X1 scores against the ZV-1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Leica X1 and Sony ZV-1. The whole galleries are provided at Leica X1 Gallery and Sony ZV-1 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to carry around your camera, you have to factor its weight and size. The Leica X1 offers outer dimensions of 124mm x 60mm x 32mm (4.9" x 2.4" x 1.3") along with a weight of 306 grams (0.67 lbs) and the Sony ZV-1 has specifications of 105mm x 60mm x 44mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.7") with a weight of 294 grams (0.65 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Underneath is the front view overall size comparison of the X1 compared to the ZV-1.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the X1 and ZV-1 is 89 and 88 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be hard to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading through technical specs. The pic here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the X1 and ZV-1.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The X1 having a bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Sony ZV-1 will resolve greater detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged X1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
