Generally, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements only by checking specifications. The visual underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M Typ 240 and GH5 II.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M Typ 240 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Leica M Typ 240 will resolve greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The older M Typ 240 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
