Fujifilm X100 vs Leica Q-P

Lets take a deeper look at the Fujifilm X100 vs Leica Q-P, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. There is a substantial difference among the resolutions of the Fujifilm X100 (12MP) and Q-P (24MP) and the Fujifilm X100 (APS-C) and Q-P (Full frame) provide different sensor size.

The Fujifilm X100 was revealed 8 years before the Q-P which is a fairly big difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the Fujifilm X100 matches up against the Q-P in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix X100 & Leica Q-P. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm X100 Gallery & Leica Q-P Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera regularly, you have to factor in its weight and size. The Fujifilm X100 provides physical dimensions of 126mm x 75mm x 54mm (5.0" x 3.0" x 2.1") along with a weight of 445 grams (0.98 lbs) and the Leica Q-P has specifications of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") and a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you have chosen during that time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the Fujifilm X100 and the Q-P.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X100 and Q-P is 80 and 63 respectively.

Often, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions simply by checking out technical specs. The picture underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X100 and Q-P.

As you can tell, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X100 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Leica Q-P will produce extra detail because of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
