To sum up, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X100T having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh trickier and the Leica M9 will provide more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X100T should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
