Typically, its tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading specifications. The photograph underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the C-Lux and X2.

To sum up, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The C-Lux featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Leica C-Lux will deliver extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more recent C-Lux provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
