Sensor size comparison with a film slide

The sensor diagonal measures 54.1mm, which gives rise to a format factor (or crop factor) of 0.8. Thus, the Leica S Typ 007 is a medium-format camera, as its sensor is larger than a traditional 35mm film slide or negative.

Sensor specs and performance

The table below compares the sensor specs of the Leica S Typ 007 to those of several similar cameras. The reported DXO values are indicators of the sensor's imaging quality (higher is better), covering color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape), and high-ISO noise (DXO Sports). Larger sensor cameras tend to outperform cameras of the same generation that are equipped with a smaller imager. On the other hand, larger sensors are more expensive and require bigger and heavier lenses than smaller light receptors.
