Typically, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through technical specs. The image here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the D-Lux Typ 109 and ZV-1F.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D-Lux Typ 109 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Sony ZV-1F will resolve greater detail having an extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged D-Lux Typ 109 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
