The Fujifilm X70 was revealed 8 years prior to the Q3 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before getting straight to a thorough comparison, here is a brief summation of how the Fujifilm X70 matches up against the Q3 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X70 and Leica Q3. The full galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X70 Gallery and Leica Q3 Gallery.

Often, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizes purely by going through technical specs. The pic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X70 and Q3.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X70 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Leica Q3 will provide greater detail because of its extra 44 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X70 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
