Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Sony RX100 II has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 38 mm (4 x 2.29 x 1.51″) and weighs 281 g (0.62 lb / 9.91 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony RX100 II and Leica Q-P.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 II is significantly lighter (359g ) than the Leica Q-P which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II 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
Sony RX100 II and Leica Q-P's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony RX100 II 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 II.
