In many cases, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements simply by seeing technical specs. The photograph underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and GH4.

As you have seen, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R10 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R10 will produce extra detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher R10 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
