Fujifilm X100T vs Leica Q-P

On this page, we are looking at the Fujifilm X100T and Leica Q-P, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Leica. There is a huge difference between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X100T (16MP) and Q-P (24MP) and the Fujifilm X100T (APS-C) and Q-P (Full frame) offer different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm X100T was brought out 5 years earlier than the Q-P and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the Fujifilm X100T grades vs the Q-P with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X100T and Leica Q-P. The entire galleries are available at Fujifilm X100T Gallery and Leica Q-P Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions. The Fujifilm X100T offers exterior measurements of 127mm x 74mm x 52mm (5.0" x 2.9" x 2.0") having a weight of 440 grams (0.97 lbs) and the Leica Q-P has measurements of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") having a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are utilizing during that time. The following is a front view sizing comparison of the Fujifilm X100T against the Q-P.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm X100T and Q-P is 80 and 63 respectively.

Often, it is tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The photograph below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X100T and Q-P.

As you can tell, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X100T due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Leica Q-P will offer you greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100T is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
