The F70EXR having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Leica V-Lux 30 will offer you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged F70EXR is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
