Often, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out technical specs. The graphic underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Q2 Monochrom and X (Typ 113).

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Q2 Monochrom using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica Q2 Monochrom will show extra detail having an extra 31MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer Q2 Monochrom provides an edge in sensor innovation.
