All in all, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The V-Lux 5 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Leica V-Lux 5 will provide more detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent V-Lux 5 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
