Oftentimes, it is difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by researching specs. The pic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and D-Lux Typ 109.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R50 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R50 will result in greater detail having an extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern R50 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
