Both Pentax Q10 and Pentax Q have 1/2.3-inch sized 12.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the Q10 and Q sensor size comparison.
Pentax Q10 and Pentax Q have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
