Fujifilm X-E3 vs Leica Q2

Here is a extended analysis of the Fujifilm X-E3 and Leica Q2, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals FujiFilm and Leica. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-E3 (24MP) and Q2 (47MP) and the Fujifilm X-E3 (APS-C) and Q2 (Full frame) feature totally different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm X-E3 was brought out 18 months earlier than the Q2 making the cameras a generation apart from one another. The two cameras offer different body type with the Fujifilm X-E3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Leica Q2 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting straight into a detailed comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the Fujifilm X-E3 matches up vs the Q2 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X-E3 and Leica Q2. The entire galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X-E3 Gallery and Leica Q2 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to carry your camera, you will want to consider its weight and volume.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are using at that time. Underneath is the front view physical size comparison of the Fujifilm X-E3 compared to the Q2.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm X-E3 and Q2 is 85 and 61 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing purely by checking out specs. The graphic below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E3 and Q2.

All in all, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E3 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Leica Q2 will show greater detail having its extra 23MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E3 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
