Normally, its difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M341 and LX100.

Clearly, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M341 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Panasonic LX100 will render more detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older M341 will be behind in sensor tech.
