Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor measurements simply by checking specifications. The photograph underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SL2 and NX10.
To sum up, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SL2 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica SL2 will resolve greater detail with its extra 32 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent SL2 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
