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.
