Fujifilm X100V vs Leica Q3 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, it's difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes simply by checking out technical specs. The picture here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X100V and Q3.
As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X100V featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Leica Q3 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 34MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100V will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
