Leica Q vs Sony A6400

Below, we will be evaluating the Leica Q versus Sony A6400, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Leica and Sony. The image resolution of the Q (24MP) and the A6400 (24MP) is pretty close but the Q (Full frame) and A6400 (APS-C) enjoy totally different sensor sizing.

The Q was released 4 years prior to the A6400 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Leica Q being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony A6400 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving through a in-depth comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the Q scores against the A6400 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Leica Q and Sony Alpha a6400. The complete galleries are available at Leica Q Gallery and Sony A6400 Gallery.

For those who are looking to travel with your camera often, you need to think about its weight and size. The Leica Q comes with exterior dimensions of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") with a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs) whilst the Sony A6400 has specifications of 120mm x 67mm x 50mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 2.0") and a weight of 403 grams (0.89 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you select at that moment. The following is the front view dimension comparison of the Q vs the A6400.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Q and A6400 is 63 and 83 respectively.

Sometimes, its tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through specifications. The pic underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q and A6400.

Plainly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The Q has got the bigger sensor which should make obtaining shallower depth of field less difficult. The more aged Q will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
