Leica Q-P vs Sony A6300

In this write-up, we are comparing the Leica Q-P vs Sony A6300, former being a Large Sensor Compact while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Leica and Sony. The sensor resolution of the Q-P (24MP) and the A6300 (24MP) is fairly well matched but the Q-P (Full frame) and A6300 (APS-C) possess totally different sensor size.

The Q-P was manufactured 2 years later than the A6300 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Leica Q-P being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony A6300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a in depth comparison, below is a short overview of how the Q-P scores vs the A6300 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica Q-P & Sony Alpha a6300. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica Q-P Gallery & Sony A6300 Gallery.

If you are going to carry your camera, you need to think about its weight and size. The Leica Q-P has got external dimensions of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") having a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) and the Sony A6300 has specifications of 120mm x 67mm x 49mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.9") having a weight of 404 grams (0.89 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you select at that moment. Below is the front view dimensions comparison of the Q-P against the A6300.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the Q-P and A6300 is 63 and 83 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Q-P and A6300.

Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact MP but not the same sensor sizing. The Q-P includes the larger sensor which will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult. The newer Q-P is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
