Typically, it's hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The image below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the C and SP-565UZ.

As you can see, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The C because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica C will offer greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent C should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
