Typically, it's hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes simply by seeing technical specs. The picture underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-S1 and V-Lux 2.

As you can tell, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-S1 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica V-Lux 2 will produce greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-S1 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
