The LX5 was brought out 12 months earlier than the DV150F so they are both of a similar generation. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the LX5 scores vs the DV150F when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 and Samsung DV150F. The entire galleries are provided at Panasonic LX5 Gallery and Samsung DV150F Gallery.

In many cases, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the LX5 and DV150F.

As you can see, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The LX5 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Samsung DV150F will give greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older LX5 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
