Sometimes, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The image underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the CL and NX1100.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Leica CL to deliver greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The newer CL will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
