Leica Q vs Leica X (Typ 113)

Let's examine more in depth at the Leica Q and Leica X (Typ 113), both Large Sensor Compact cameras and both are designed by Leica. There exists a big gap among the image resolutions of the Q (24MP) and X (Typ 113) (16MP) and the Q (Full frame) and X (Typ 113) (APS-C) possess different sensor size.

The Q was unveiled 9 months later than the X (Typ 113) which means that they are both of a similar generation. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go in to a full comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the Q matches up vs the X (Typ 113) when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica Q and Leica X. The full galleries are provided at Leica Q Gallery and Leica X (Typ 113) Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you have to think about its weight and measurements. The Leica Q offers physical dimensions of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") having a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) whilst the Leica X (Typ 113) has proportions of 133mm x 73mm x 78mm (5.2" x 2.9" x 3.1") and a weight of 486 grams (1.07 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilizing at the time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the Q compared to the X (Typ 113).

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Q and X (Typ 113) is 63 and 71 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements just by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q and X (Typ 113).

As you can see, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Q with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica Q will render more detail having an extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more modern Q should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
