In many cases, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements just by reading specifications. The visual underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-A2 and M11.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-A2 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Leica M11 will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 44 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-A2 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
