Leica Q-P vs Sony RX100 V

Here, we will be contrasting the Leica Q-P versus Sony RX100 V, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Leica and Sony. The resolution of the Q-P (24MP) and the RX100 V (20MP) is relatively comparable but the Q-P (Full frame) and RX100 V (1") posses totally different sensor size.

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.

If you are looking to lug around your camera often, you will want to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Leica Q-P has got physical dimensions of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") accompanied by a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) and the Sony RX100 V has dimensions of 102mm x 58mm x 41mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.6") with a weight of 299 grams (0.66 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilizing at that time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the Q-P vs the RX100 V.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Q-P and RX100 V is 63 and 89 respectively.

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.
