Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Here is the front view sizing comparison of the P7000 and the GX-1S.

Typically, its tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the P7000 and GX-1S.

As you can see, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The P7000 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Nikon P7000 will produce more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger P7000 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
