Canon G11 vs Leica Q

Below, we are looking at the Canon G11 and Leica Q, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and Leica. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the G11 (10MP) and Q (24MP) and the G11 (1/1.7") and Q (Full frame) possess different sensor sizing.

The G11 was announced 6 years before the Q which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon G11 being a Compact camera and the Leica Q being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple summary of how the G11 scores versus the Q when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot G11 and Leica Q. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon G11 Gallery and Leica Q Gallery.

For those who are intending to carry around your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon G11 enjoys outer measurements of 112mm x 76mm x 48mm (4.4" x 3.0" x 1.9") having a weight of 375 grams (0.83 lbs) whilst the Leica Q has dimensions of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") along with a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have chosen at that moment. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the G11 versus the Q.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the G11 and Q is 83 and 63 respectively.

Often, it is difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The picture here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the G11 and Q.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G11 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Leica Q will give you greater detail with its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged G11 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
