The Q-P was released 7 years after the A35 which is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Leica Q-P being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony A35 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the Q-P scores vs the A35 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica Q-P & Sony SLT-A35. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica Q-P Gallery & Sony A35 Gallery.

If you're looking to travel with your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and proportions.

Often, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The pic below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Q-P and A35.

To sum up, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Q-P featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Leica Q-P will give extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The newer Q-P should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
