Canon 100D vs Leica Q2

Its time to look a little more closely at the Canon 100D versus Leica Q2, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and Leica. There is a huge difference between the sensor resolutions of the 100D (18MP) and Q2 (47MP) and the 100D (APS-C) and Q2 (Full frame) use different sensor size.

The 100D was manufactured 6 years prior to the Q2 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Canon 100D being a Compact SLR camera and the Leica Q2 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the 100D grades against the Q2 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 100D and Leica Q2. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 100D Gallery and Leica Q2 Gallery.

When you are intending to carry around your camera frequently, you need to think about its weight and size. The Canon 100D comes with outer dimensions of 117mm x 91mm x 69mm (4.6" x 3.6" x 2.7") and a weight of 407 grams (0.90 lbs) and the Leica Q2 has specifications of 130mm x 80mm x 92mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.6") and a weight of 718 grams (1.58 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have during that time. Here is the front view over all size comparison of the 100D and the Q2.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the 100D and Q2 is 73 and 61 respectively.

Often, it is very tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 100D and Q2.

As you can see, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 100D featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Leica Q2 will give you greater detail due to its extra 29MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged 100D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
