Sometimes, its tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements simply by checking technical specs. The visual here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and GX8.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M10 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Leica M10 will resolve more detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The newer M10 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
