Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The photograph below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the M6 MII and GX7.

As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M6 MII featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Canon M6 MII will give greater detail due to its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent M6 MII provides an edge in sensor innovation.
