As you can see, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M11 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Leica M11 will produce more detail due to its extra 48 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger M11 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
