More often than not, it can be tough to see the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the L19 and 6000.

As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The L19 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus 6000 will resolve more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively.
