Leica TL vs Pentax Q7

Here is a comprehensive review of the Leica TL vs Pentax Q7, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Leica and Pentax. There exists a noticeable gap between the resolutions of the TL (16MP) and Q7 (12MP) and the TL (APS-C) and Q7 (1/1.7") feature different sensor size.

The TL was released 3 years later than the Q7 and that is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a thorough comparison, below is a short summary of how the TL grades versus the Q7 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica TL & Pentax Q7. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica TL Gallery & Pentax Q7 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and measurements. The Leica TL features outside dimensions of 134mm x 69mm x 33mm (5.3" x 2.7" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 384 grams (0.85 lbs) while the Pentax Q7 has proportions of 102mm x 58mm x 34mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.3") having a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you choose at that moment. Following is the front view measurements comparison of the TL against the Q7.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the TL and Q7 is 85 and 92 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TL and Q7.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TL due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica TL will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The more modern TL provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
