Canon ELPH 530 HS vs Leica Q2

Let's look a little more in depth at the Canon ELPH 530 HS versus Leica Q2, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by brands Canon and Leica. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the ELPH 530 HS (10MP) and Q2 (47MP) and the ELPH 530 HS (1/2.3") and Q2 (Full frame) offer different sensor measurements.

The ELPH 530 HS was introduced 8 years earlier than the Q2 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Canon ELPH 530 HS being a Compact camera and the Leica Q2 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going straight to a detailed comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the ELPH 530 HS matches up versus the Q2 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have attached at that moment. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the ELPH 530 HS versus the Q2.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the ELPH 530 HS and Q2 is 95 and 61 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing simply by seeing specs. The graphic underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 530 HS and Q2.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 530 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Leica Q2 will provide greater detail using its extra 37 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older ELPH 530 HS will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
