Plainly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Leica V-Lux 30 to give you extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The older V-Lux 30 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
