Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes merely by seeing specifications. The pic below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-M1 and GF3.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-M1 with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-M1 will produce extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-M1 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
