Oftentimes, it is hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions simply by checking specifications. The picture here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-M1 and M-Monochrom.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-M1 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Leica M-Monochrom will give greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-M1 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
