Quite often, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes only by going through technical specs. The picture underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z280 and V-Lux 30.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Leica V-Lux 30 to produce extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z280 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
