Usually, it's hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions just by looking at specs. The image below might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S200EXR and V-Lux 5.

All in all, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S200EXR with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Leica V-Lux 5 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
