Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The V-Lux 40 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Leica V-Lux 40 will show more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older V-Lux 40 will be behind in sensor tech.
