Plainly, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-M1 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Leica M11 Monochrome will deliver more detail due to its extra 44 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-M1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
