Generally, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-100 and V-Lux 30.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-100 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica V-Lux 30 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger EX-100 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
