Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use during that time. Here is a front view overall size comparison of the QX100 versus the S2000.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the QX100 and S2000 is 92 and 93 respectively.

Sometimes, it's hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the QX100 and S2000.

As you can see, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The QX100 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony QX100 will result in greater detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The newer QX100 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
