Oftentimes, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The picture here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M-E Typ 220 and GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5.
Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M-E Typ 220 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Leica M-E Typ 220 will give more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer M-E Typ 220 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
