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 Leica Q-P and Sony RX100 IV side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Sony RX100 IV has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 41 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.61″) and weighs 298 g (0.66 lb / 10.51 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica Q-P and the Sony RX100 IV. Sony RX100 IV is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 28mm narrower, 22mm shorter and 52mm thinner than Leica Q-P.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica Q-P and Sony RX100 IV.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica Q-P and Sony RX100 IV.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 IV is significantly lighter (342g ) than the Leica Q-P which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica Q-P nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV 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
Leica Q-P and Sony RX100 IV's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony RX100 IV features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Leica Q-P has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to RX100 IV.
