More often than not, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-H1 and GH4.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H1 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-H1 will show more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
