Canon SX720 HS vs Leica Q-P

In this write-up, we will be reviewing the Canon SX720 HS versus Leica Q-P, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Canon and Leica. The sensor resolution of the SX720 HS (20.3MP) and the Q-P (24MP) is pretty similar but the SX720 HS (1/2.3") and Q-P (Full frame) come with different sensor sizing.

The SX720 HS was released 3 years prior to the Q-P which is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Canon SX720 HS being a Compact camera and the Leica Q-P being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief overview of how the SX720 HS grades vs the Q-P with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are utilizing at that time. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the SX720 HS and the Q-P.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the SX720 HS and Q-P is 89 and 63 respectively.

Usually, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading specifications. The image here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX720 HS and Q-P.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX720 HS because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Leica Q-P will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 3.7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged SX720 HS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
