Canon G7 X vs Leica Q Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at technical specs. The picture below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 X and Q.
As you have seen, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G7 X using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Leica Q will give greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged G7 X is going to be behind in sensor tech.
