The R5 was brought out 3 years earlier than the Q3 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon R5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Leica Q3 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting in to a in-depth comparison, below is a short highlight of how the R5 matches up vs the Q3 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, it can be tough to see the difference between sensor sizing simply by going over specifications. The visual here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the R5 and Q3.

To sum up, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Leica Q3 to offer more detail having its extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older R5 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
