Normally, its hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through specs. The graphic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the X (Typ 113) and LX100 II.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X (Typ 113) using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic LX100 II will produce greater detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The older X (Typ 113) will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
