As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X70 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Leica Q-P will result in greater detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X70 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
