More often than not, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specifications. The image below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S5 Pro and X Vario.

Plainly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Leica X Vario to show greater detail using its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S5 Pro will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
