Fujifilm X100T vs Leica Q2

In this write-up, we are evaluating the Fujifilm X100T vs Leica Q2, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by brands FujiFilm and Leica. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the Fujifilm X100T (16MP) and Q2 (47MP) and the Fujifilm X100T (APS-C) and Q2 (Full frame) enjoy different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm X100T was introduced 5 years before the Q2 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a short overview of how the Fujifilm X100T scores versus the Q2 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm X100T and Leica Q2. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm X100T Gallery and Leica Q2 Gallery.

If you are intending to travel with your camera, you will have to think about its weight and measurements. The Fujifilm X100T comes with exterior measurements of 127mm x 74mm x 52mm (5.0" x 2.9" x 2.0") accompanied by a weight of 440 grams (0.97 lbs) whilst the Leica Q2 has proportions of 130mm x 80mm x 92mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.6") with a weight of 718 grams (1.58 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilising at that time. The following is the front view dimensions comparison of the Fujifilm X100T versus the Q2.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X100T and Q2 is 80 and 61 respectively.

More often than not, its tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing technical specs. The pic below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X100T and Q2.

As you have seen, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X100T using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Leica Q2 will deliver extra detail using its extra 31 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100T is going to be behind in sensor tech.
