As you can see, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-A10 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Leica M-Monochrom will deliver more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-A10 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
