In many cases, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by going through a spec sheet. The image below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T1 and GX85.
Clearly, each of the cameras have got the exact same MP but not the same sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T1 has got the larger sensor which will make achieving shallow depth of field easier. The more aged Fujifilm X-T1 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
