All in all, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H15 using its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Panasonic GM1 will give extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
