In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The visual below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q and Q10.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the same exact MP therefore you can expect similar quality of files although you should really consider the launch date of the products into consideration. The older Q is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
