The Q was brought out 10 years prior to the fp L and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a detailed comparison, here is a concise view of how the Q scores vs the fp L with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Sometimes, it can be hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Q and fp L.

Clearly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Q because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Sigma fp L will render more detail having its extra 49 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older Q will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
