The sensor resolution of Q is greater than that of D-Lux 7. The difference of 7 MP is quite a lot. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the first camera (D-Lux 7), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Leica Q, the maximum ISO is greater by 24400. Both cameras have Optical image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. Viewfinder Q has a higher resolution of 3680k dots, D-Lux 7 has a resolution of 2760k dots.
