Leica Q vs Sigma DP2x

Below, we are matching up the Leica Q vs Sigma DP2x, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by companies Leica and Sigma. There is a significant difference among the image resolutions of the Q (24MP) and DP2x (5MP) and the Q (Full frame) and DP2x (APS-C) come with different sensor size.

The Q was brought out 4 years later than the DP2x and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before delving in to a full comparison, below is a quick view of how the Q scores against the DP2x in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera, you need to think about its weight and proportions. The Leica Q has external dimensions of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") along with a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) and the Sigma DP2x has measurements of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") along with a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you use at that moment. Underneath is the front view over all size comparison of the Q versus the DP2x.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the Q and DP2x is 63 and 86 respectively.

Often, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Q and DP2x.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Q due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Leica Q will provide you with greater detail having its extra 19 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Q should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
