Leica V-Lux 3 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Leica V-Lux 40 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the V-Lux 3 and V-Lux 40 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Leica V-Lux 3 and Leica V-Lux 40 Cameras
Leica V-Lux 3 and Leica V-Lux 40 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 V-Lux 3
or the
Leica V-Lux 40 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
