As you can see, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M Typ 262 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Leica M Typ 262 will resolve more detail because of its extra 3.5MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics way more aggressively. The younger M Typ 262 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
