Leica Q3 vs Sigma DP2s

Below, we are analyzing the Leica Q3 vs Sigma DP2s, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by competitors Leica and Sigma. There exists a noticeable gap among the image resolutions of the Q3 (60MP) and DP2s (5MP) and the Q3 (Full frame) and DP2s (APS-C) possess totally different sensor dimensions.

The Q3 was announced 13 years later than the DP2s and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the Q3 scores versus the DP2s in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica Q3 & Sigma DP2s. The whole galleries are available at Leica Q3 Gallery & Sigma DP2s Gallery.

If you are intending to carry your camera often, you will have to factor its weight and volume. The Leica Q3 offers physical measurements of 130mm x 80mm x 93mm (5.1" x 3.1" x 3.7") accompanied by a weight of 743 grams (1.64 lbs) whilst the Sigma DP2s has sizing of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") with a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you choose during that time. Underneath is the front view dimension comparison of the Q3 compared to the DP2s.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Q3 and DP2s is 60 and 86 respectively.

Normally, it can be tough to see the difference in sensor sizing merely by going through specifications. The photograph here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Q3 and DP2s.

Plainly, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Q3 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Leica Q3 will produce greater detail with its extra 55MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent Q3 will have an edge in sensor technology.
