As you can tell, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X100T featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Leica Q2 Monochrom will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100T is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
