The C-Lux was manufactured 4 months before the Q-P which means that they are of a similar age. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go straight into a full comparison, below is a simple summation of how the C-Lux matches up against the Q-P in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica C-Lux & Leica Q-P. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica C-Lux Gallery & Leica Q-P Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry around your camera often, you'll need to consider its weight and proportions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you choose at that time. Below is the front view proportions comparison of the C-Lux compared to the Q-P.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the C-Lux and Q-P is 85 and 63 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to see the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The pic underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the C-Lux and Q-P.

As you can tell, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The C-Lux due to its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Leica Q-P will render extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively.
