In many cases, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching specifications. The picture here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Q3 and A.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Q3 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh easier and the Leica Q3 will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 44MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger Q3 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
