As you can plainly see, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-A10 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Leica M9-P will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-A10 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
