Normally, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The photograph underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the T Type 701 and E-P2.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The T Type 701 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Leica T Type 701 will provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent T Type 701 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
