Oftentimes, it is very difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The image here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D-Lux Typ 109 and S9100.

Plainly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D-Lux Typ 109 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica D-Lux Typ 109 will give you more detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more modern D-Lux Typ 109 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
