As you can see, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1 V1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic GM1 will give greater detail utilizing its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older 1 V1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
