All in all, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 10D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic GF6 will render extra detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
