Often, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by going through technical specs. The visual below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X100 and Q2 Monochrom.

As you can tell, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X100 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Leica Q2 Monochrom will provide extra detail with its extra 35 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100 will be behind in sensor technology.
