Canon S95 vs Leica Q-P

In this article, we will be looking at the Canon S95 versus Leica Q-P, former is a Small Sensor Compact while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by brands Canon and Leica. There is a considerable difference among the resolutions of the S95 (10MP) and Q-P (24MP) and the S95 (1/1.7") and Q-P (Full frame) possess different sensor sizes.

The S95 was released 9 years before the Q-P which is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon S95 being a Compact camera and the Leica Q-P being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving through a step-by-step comparison, below is a short summary of how the S95 scores against the Q-P with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot S95 & Leica Q-P. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon S95 Gallery & Leica Q-P Gallery.

When you are planning to travel with your camera, you will need to consider its weight and size. The Canon S95 has physical dimensions of 100mm x 58mm x 30mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.2") and a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs) while the Leica Q-P has specifications of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") having a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you select during that time. Below is the front view dimensions comparison of the S95 against the Q-P.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the S95 and Q-P is 93 and 63 respectively.

Usually, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions just by seeing specifications. The pic below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S95 and Q-P.

To sum up, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S95 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Leica Q-P will show more detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged S95 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
