As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 1D C with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Leica V-Lux 5 will provide you with more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 1D C will be behind in sensor technology.
