The Q-P was manufactured 6 years after the FZ60 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Leica Q-P being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Panasonic FZ60 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight to a complete comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the Q-P matches up vs the FZ60 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica Q-P and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60. The entire galleries are provided at Leica Q-P Gallery and Panasonic FZ60 Gallery.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by seeing specifications. The picture below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q-P and FZ60.

To sum up, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Q-P featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Leica Q-P will produce extra detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more modern Q-P will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
