As you can see, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-H15 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic GX9 will show more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older EX-H15 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
