Generally, it's difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M Typ 240 and E-P5.

As you can see, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M Typ 240 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica M Typ 240 will resolve extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older M Typ 240 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
