Leica Q-P vs Sigma DP2x Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading through specifications. The photograph underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q-P and DP2x.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Q-P featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Leica Q-P will resolve greater detail due to its extra 19 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger Q-P provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
