In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by going over specs. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 20Da and GX-20.

All in all, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung GX-20 to deliver greater detail having its extra 7MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The more aged 20Da is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
