Often, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor sizing simply by checking out technical specs. The photograph below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SL2 and Z30.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SL2 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica SL2 will produce greater detail using its extra 26MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older SL2 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
