The G7 X was brought out 5 years before the Q-P which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before delving into a more detailed comparison, here is a concise overview of how the G7 X scores against the Q-P in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot G7 X & Leica Q-P. The entire galleries are available at Canon G7 X Gallery & Leica Q-P Gallery.

More often than not, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by looking through specs. The picture underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 X and Q-P.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G7 X because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Leica Q-P will provide you with extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged G7 X will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
