Leica Q vs Olympus FE-4030

Lets look more closely at the Leica Q vs Olympus FE-4030, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Leica and Olympus. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the Q (24MP) and FE-4030 (14MP) and the Q (Full frame) and FE-4030 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor sizing.

The Q was unveiled 5 years after the FE-4030 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Leica Q being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Olympus FE-4030 being a Compact camera.

Before delving right into a detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the Q matches up vs the FE-4030 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica Q and Olympus FE-4030. The full galleries are provided at Leica Q Gallery and Olympus FE-4030 Gallery.

If you're planning to travel with your camera, you need to factor in its weight and volume.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have at that time. Here is a front view dimension comparison of the Q vs the FE-4030.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Q and FE-4030 is 63 and 95 respectively.

Quite often, it's hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions simply by checking specs. The image underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Q and FE-4030.

All in all, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Q having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica Q will give you more detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more modern Q is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
