Sometimes, its tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing technical specs. The graphic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the AX350 and LX5.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The AX350 with its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm AX350 will result in more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older AX350 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
