Leica Q3 vs Sony A7R V
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Resolution (MP): the Q3 leads at 60,3 MP (effective); 62,39 MP (total) vs the A7R V's 61.0.
- Burst — mechanical: the A7R V leads at 10 fps (Hi+) vs the Q3's Continuous: 2 fps / 4 fps / 7 fps (14 bit), 9 fps / 15 fps (12 bit).
- EVF resolution: the A7R V leads at 9,437,184 dots vs the Q3's 5,760,000 dots, 120 fps.

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
