Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by looking through technical specs. The picture here may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S9400W and V-Lux 5.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S9400W having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Leica V-Lux 5 will provide you with more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S9400W will be behind in sensor innovation.
