Leica CL has a
24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Maestro II processor. On the other hand, Canon 300D has a
6.0MP APS-C (22.7 x 15.1 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Leica CL's sensor provides 18MP more than Canon 300D's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the CL and 300D sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Leica CL and Canon 300D Cameras
Leica CL and Canon 300D have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Leica CL
or the
Canon 300D ,
including hyperfocal distance.
