The Q was unveiled 4 years earlier than the RX100 VI which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before getting into a thorough comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the Q scores against the RX100 VI in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica Q and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI. The full galleries are available at Leica Q Gallery and Sony RX100 VI Gallery.

Often, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions merely by checking technical specs. The pic below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Q and RX100 VI.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Q having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Leica Q will give you more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged Q is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
