The X-U was introduced 6 years after the L110 which is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Leica X-U being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Nikon L110 being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a full comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the X-U grades vs the L110 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica X-U & Nikon Coolpix L110. The whole galleries are available at Leica X-U Gallery & Nikon L110 Gallery.

Oftentimes, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by looking at specifications. The image here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the X-U and L110.

To sum up, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X-U using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Leica X-U will resolve more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher X-U will have an edge in sensor innovation.
