All in all, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The C-Lux featuring a larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Leica C-Lux will produce more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more modern C-Lux will have a benefit in sensor technology.
