More often than not, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The visual below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M Typ 262 and E-M1X.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M Typ 262 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica M Typ 262 will deliver extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older M Typ 262 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
