The Q-P was introduced 4 years earlier than the ZV-1F which is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before delving right into a full comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the Q-P scores vs the ZV-1F when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica Q-P & Sony ZV-1F. The whole galleries are available at Leica Q-P Gallery & Sony ZV-1F Gallery.

Usually, it is tough to see the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The pic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Q-P and ZV-1F.

All in all, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Q-P having a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Leica Q-P will deliver greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged Q-P is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
