Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M Edition 60 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Leica M Edition 60 will result in extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The newer M Edition 60 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
