Canon 600D vs Leica Q-P

Here, we are comparing the Canon 600D and Leica Q-P, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Leica. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the 600D (18MP) and Q-P (24MP) and the 600D (APS-C) and Q-P (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The 600D was launched 8 years prior to the Q-P and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 600D being a Compact SLR camera and the Leica Q-P being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the 600D grades vs the Q-P in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 600D and Leica Q-P. The complete galleries are available at Canon 600D Gallery and Leica Q-P Gallery.

For those who are aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you need to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon 600D has physical measurements of 133mm x 100mm x 80mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 570 grams (1.26 lbs) while the Leica Q-P has dimensions of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") having a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is a front view scale comparison of the 600D compared to the Q-P.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 600D and Q-P is 66 and 63 respectively.

Sometimes, it is tough to see the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 600D and Q-P.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 600D due to its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Leica Q-P will provide greater detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older 600D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
