The Q-P was brought out 2 years later than the RX100 V and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before going into a thorough comparison, here is a quick overview of how the Q-P matches up against the RX100 V in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica Q-P and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V. The entire galleries are provided at Leica Q-P Gallery and Sony RX100 V Gallery.

More often than not, it is hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q-P and RX100 V.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Q-P due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Leica Q-P will provide extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Q-P is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
