Generally, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The visual here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M-E Typ 220 and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M-E Typ 220 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica M-E Typ 220 will render more detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher M-E Typ 220 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
