Fujifilm X-T1 vs Leica TL2 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes purely by seeing technical specs. The image here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T1 and TL2.
As you have seen, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Leica TL2 to produce greater detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-T1 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
