As you can see, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The V-Lux 20 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Leica V-Lux 20 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older V-Lux 20 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
