Sometimes, its hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing specs. The photograph underneath will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Q3 and P90.

All in all, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Q3 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Leica Q3 will deliver more detail having an extra 48 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger Q3 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
