Generally, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X100S and Q-P.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X100S featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Leica Q-P will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100S is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
