What is the sensor size of the Leica T?
The Leica T (Typ 701) is a digital camera that has an APS-C sensor at its core. This imager measures 23.6mm in width and 15.7mm in height, so that the total imaging area of the sensor amounts to 371 mm2.
The T Typ 701 provides an image resolution of 16.2 megapixels, based on 4 944 horizontal pixels and 3 278 vertical pixels.
Sensor size comparison with a film slide
The sensor diagonal measures 28.3mm, which gives rise to a format factor (or crop factor) of 1.5. Hence, the Leica T is a crop-sensor camera, as its sensor is smaller than a traditional 35mm film slide or negative.
Sensor specs and performance
The table below compares the sensor specs of the Leica T 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.
