Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon M50 and Leica Q-P side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M50 has external dimensions of 116 x 88 x 59 mm (4.57 x 3.46 x 2.32″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries). Leica Q-P has external dimensions of 130 x 80 x 93 mm (5.12 x 3.15 x 3.66″) and weighs 640 g (1.41 lb / 22.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M50 and the Leica Q-P. Canon M50 is 14mm narrower and 34mm thinner than Leica Q-P but it is also 8mm taller. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Leica Q-P has a built-in lens but Canon M50 doesn't. Once you put a lens on M50, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M50 and Leica Q-P.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M50 and Leica Q-P.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M50 is significantly lighter (250g ) than the Leica Q-P which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on M50, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS M50 nor Leica Q-P provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon M50 and Leica Q-P's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon M50 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Leica Q-P's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to M50.
