Sometimes, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specs. The pic below should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S3200 and V-Lux 5.

All in all, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S3200 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Leica V-Lux 5 will result in greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged S3200 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
