As you have seen, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The C140 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Leica V-Lux 5 will show extra detail because of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
