Leica X (Typ 113) has a
16.0MP APS-C (23 x 15.5 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Canon G1 X III has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 7 processor.
Canon G1 X III's sensor provides 8MP more than Leica X (Typ 113)'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 X (Typ 113) and G1 X III sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Leica X (Typ 113) and Canon G1 X III Cameras
Leica X (Typ 113) and Canon G1 X III 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 X (Typ 113)
or the
Canon G1 X III ,
including hyperfocal distance.
