More often than not, it is hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements simply by checking out specs. The photograph below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC150 and M11 Monochrome.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-FC150 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Leica M11 Monochrome will produce extra detail having an extra 50MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
