Generally, its tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The picture here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the D-Lux Typ 109 and Q-P.

To sum up, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The D-Lux Typ 109 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Leica Q-P will offer you more detail utilizing its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged D-Lux Typ 109 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
