Leica Q vs Samsung WB850F

Here, we are evaluating the Leica Q versus Samsung WB850F, former is a Large Sensor Compact while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Leica and Samsung. There is a large difference among the image resolutions of the Q (24MP) and WB850F (16MP) and the Q (Full frame) and WB850F (1/2.3") have totally different sensor dimensions.

The Q was manufactured 3 years after the WB850F which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Leica Q being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Samsung WB850F being a Compact camera.

Before going into a detailed comparison, here is a brief overview of how the Q scores versus the WB850F for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica Q & Samsung WB850F. The entire galleries are available at Leica Q Gallery & Samsung WB850F Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera regularly, you'll have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Often, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes just by going through technical specs. The pic below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q and WB850F.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Q because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica Q will produce greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Q is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
