Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Q3 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica Q3 will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 40MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent Q3 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
