Plainly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M Edition 60 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Leica M Edition 60 will offer extra detail having an extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent M Edition 60 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
