Leica X with Leica C-Lux Overview


Let's compare C-Lux with X. Both cameras produced Leica. These models are included in the Large Sensor Compact cameras. Leica C-Lux was released in 2018, and Leica X (Typ 113) in 2014. C-Lux is newer, which is a plus. X 4 years older. 4 years, this is a pretty big age difference.
The sensor resolution of C-Lux is greater than that of X. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the first camera (C-Lux), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Leica C-Lux, the maximum ISO is greater by 300. C-Lux has image stabilization(Optical), X doesn’t, it is a big minus. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
C-Lux has electronic viewfinder, and the X doesn’t have. Viewfinder C-Lux has a higher resolution of 2330k dots, X has a resolution of no electronic viewfinderk dots. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Leica C-Lux has 5.0 fps continuous shooting. Leica C-Lux has 5.0 fps continuous shooting.
