Often, it's difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through technical specs. The visual here will give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M-E Typ 220 and TL.

As you can tell, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M-E Typ 220 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Leica M-E Typ 220 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older M-E Typ 220 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
