Canon G5 X vs Leica Q2 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The graphic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the G5 X and Q2.
Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G5 X having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Leica Q2 will give you greater detail because of its extra 27MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older G5 X is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
