Sometimes, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and M9-P.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-Pro1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Leica M9-P will offer you greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-Pro1 provides an edge in sensor tech.
