Fujifilm X-Pro2 vs Leica M9-P Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and M9-P.
As you can see, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-Pro2 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will give more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-Pro2 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
