Leica Q2 Monochrom vs Leica X Vario

Here is a in-depth comparison of the Leica Q2 Monochrom vs Leica X Vario, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras and both are built by Leica. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the Q2 Monochrom (47MP) and X Vario (16MP) and the Q2 Monochrom (Full frame) and X Vario (APS-C) offer totally different sensor measurements.

The Q2 Monochrom was manufactured 7 years later than the X Vario and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the Q2 Monochrom matches up against the X Vario in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica Q2 Monochrom and Leica X Vario. The entire galleries are provided at Leica Q2 Monochrom Gallery and Leica X Vario Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to carry your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and volume.

Usually, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q2 Monochrom and X Vario.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Q2 Monochrom featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Leica Q2 Monochrom will offer greater detail due to its extra 31MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Q2 Monochrom is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
